“What has Athens to do with Jerusalem?” This famous question, posed by the early Church Father Tertullian, captures the ultimate identity crisis of the early Church. In this episode, we travel to Athens, the intellectual capital of the ancient world, where the Apostle Paul stepped directly into a philosophical crossfire. While Paul masterfully used Greek ideas to speak to the Gentiles on the Areopagus, he was soon fighting a desperate battle to keep this burgeoning global movement tethered to its spiritual home of Jerusalem.
