Athens! - The Cradle of Democracy
For many of us the cities and regions of the ancient east that we read about in our bibles are simply names - and many of those names are unpronounceable! But some will know a little more than usual about the city of Athens. Some may even have been there on holiday! What was Athens like in the ancient world of the book of Acts, when Paul visited the city in Acts 17, and preached to the Areopagus? Understanding biblical background is a great help to understanding the Biblical text.
In this podcast, ‘Monday Extra’ - we look at Ancient Athens for beginners, and try to get a little flavour of what Paul would have discovered when he entered this famous city.
