We listen to Luke's account of the Apostle Paul's excursion into the city of Athens, recorded in Acts 17. The Book of Acts continues Luke’s first volume, showing us that Triune God is doing something new in creation and in all peoples. Athens was a city renowned for their continued contribution to culture and innovation in the Greco-Roman world. Why did Luke write to us about this particular place and this particular people and what does God want to do here? These are the questions at the heart of Luke’s account. It is a question for us and our place and time as well.
