Gospel in the Marketplace of Ideas, The : Paul's Mars Hill experience for our pluralistic world

---

Outline : Our world is multicultural, multireligious, multiphilosophical. It ranges from funda-mentalist monotheism to do-it-yourself spirituality to strident atheism. How can we present Jesus the Messiah in such a context? When Paul visited Athens, as told in the book of Acts, he found an equally multicultural and multireligious setting. From Jews to Gentiles, elite to poor, slaves to slaveowners, from olive-skinned Gentiles to dark-skinned Ethiopians-the Greco-Roman world was a dynamic mix. A wide variety of religions were practiced, with the cult of emperor worship being the most prominent. Many also frequented the temples for the traditional Greek pantheon and participated in the secret rituals of the mystery religions. Copan and Litwak uncover the cultural and religious background that is required to under-stand this key episode in the apostle's career. With equal facility they show what it means for us who live in an age of competing beliefs and value systems.
