The Story of Paul in Athens
The ancient city of Athens was a vibrant center of religious activity. The Greeks worshipped a pantheon of 12 gods, each with a unique role. Among these, they also acknowledged an ‘Unknown god,’ known as Agnostos Theos, a fascinating aspect of their religious practices that often goes unnoticed.
Paul delivered a profound message in the first century at the Aeropagus, where Epimenides once stood. He drew attention to the altars, revealing to the people that they had unknowingly worshipped the unknown god who had once saved their city. As the messenger of this god, Paul offered to share more about his identity and principles, a message that continues to resonate with Christians today.
