On Introducing Gods to Athens: An Alternative Reading of Acts 17:18-20

On Introducing Gods to Athens: An Alternative Reading of Acts 17:18-20

  • Semi-Technical
  • Bruce W. Winter

This essay examines the Greek conventions surrounding a "herald’s" official introduction of a new god into the Pantheon in Athens. It wants to throw light on Paul's Areopagus address and suggest an alternative translation of Acts 17:19-20.

Source: Tyndale Bulletin, 1996. 20 pages.
