Acts 17:22 ~ Really Religious? Or Simply Superstitious?

Acts 17:22 ~ Really Religious? Or Simply Superstitious?

Posted on December 6, 2019June 8, 2020 by Laura Zielke

This week we read through Paul’s speech at the Areopagus, and although I thought we were going to discuss more of it, we basically made it through one verse. It’s not my fault! ? We discussed the different translations of a rare Greek word in Acts 17:22 “deisidaimonesterous” (lit: δεισιδαιμονεστέρους). Was Paul following the classical…

Acts 17:16-21 ~ Setting of Paul's Speech (Summary)

Posted on November 30, 2019June 8, 2020 by Laura Zielke

This week we summed up the previous weeks’ (and months’) lessons about Athens, the Areopagus, Aeschylus’ play “The Oresteia,” Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Epicurus, and Zeno. We also discussed Paul’s broad education in Tarsus and Jerusalem, and how his travels informed his discussion in Athens. We had a great discussion about everything from classical Greek philosophy,…

If you’ve donated to a nonprofit organization within the past few years, you’ve likely got an inbox full of donation requests for what some consider to be a “made-up holiday.” The good news is that the narrative around this “new” non-holiday has finally started to turn, and people are seeing it for what it really…

Do we seriously need ANOTHER study Bible? Isn’t the market saturated? What makes this study Bible different than others currently on the market?

Posted on November 20, 2019June 8, 2020 by Laura Zielke

This week we put on our thinking caps and dove into classical Greek drama and philosophy. We discussed the final play from the Oresteia by Aeschylus: Eumenides. The play explores the mythological founding of the Aeropagus council by Athena, the patron goddess of Athens, as well as instituting the worship of new goddesses: the Eumenides…

Acts 17:10-15 ~ Off the Beaten Track

Posted on November 13, 2019June 8, 2020 by Laura Zielke

This week, we discussed Paul’s time in Beroea (modern day Veria), Macedonia, Greece. We observed how this particular location was double the distance of his previous two trips and well off the Egnatian Way. Was he trying to lose his pursuers? Maybe. But he found a community that not only welcomed him, they were open…
