Description: The Gospel in the Marketplace of Ideas by Paul Copan Lessons for presenting the message of Jesus in a pluralistic and relativistic world. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Our world is multicultural, multi-religious, multi-philosophical. It ranges from fundamental monotheism to do-it-yourself spirituality to strident atheism. How can Christians authentically and effectively present the message of Jesus the Messiah in such a pluralistic and often relativistic context?When the apostle Paul visited Athens, he found an equally multicultural and multi-religious setting. Religious practices were wide and varied, with the Roman cult of emperor worship being the most prominent. Many also frequented the temples of the traditional Greek pantheon and participated in the secret rituals of the Mystery Religions.In this stimulating and accessible study, Paul Copan and Kenneth Litwak show how Pauls speech to the Athenians in Acts 17 provides a practical model for today. The authors encourage Christians to be more biblically informed, culturally astute, and creatively engaged to winsomely challenge the idols of our time and to point contemporary Athenians beyond "an unknown God" to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
