This week we studied the beginning of Paul’s sermon at the Areopagus (beyond verse 22)! Paul seized the opportunity to tell the Athenians and Areopagus Council about the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in terms they would understand. His prop was an altar to an “unknown god,” and Paul used that as his jumping…

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…

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,…

Acts 7:51-56 ~ Who’s Really on Trial Here?

Posted on February 12, 2018February 14, 2018 by Laura Zielke

This week we got back to where we had left off with the “peroratio” (i.e., conclusion) of Stephen’s speech in Acts 7. It’s at this point the reason for his rehashing the history of Israel becomes crystal clear: Stephen has been building a case not merely to proclaim his innocence, but also to prove the…

Posted @withregram • @loveeletters your direction is more important than your speed 🌿✨ #LifeGoals Posted @withregram • @my_jigsawlife I’m glad to see this and obligated to share. Trying to silence truth tellers is white supremacy. And white supremacy is evil. Note to self 💛 Word. Posted @withregram • @sandravanopstal It’s the silence and the silencing for me.  My first year of ministry someone at my church “rebuked” me for posting something about love  from #mlkjr stating that he was not a real Chrisitan. The post by @deidrariggs accompanying this graphic is a powerful wake up call for White people. Don’t hit the snooze button. Read this post. Anything you can do to spread the word, do it. There’s plenty of money out there to help heal the world. Posted @withregram • @journey_to_wellness_ 😳Truth: I’m so nervous right now…
