Acts 17 Paul at the Aeropagus

The missionary journey continues for Paul, Timothy, and Silas.  While they make their way around the Mediterranean basin, they continue to both win converts,but also encounter resistance. The story climaxes today in Athens with Paul preaching at the Aeropagus. Although upset by the idol worship he encounters in Athens, Paul masterfully uses it to his advantage.  He recognizes how devoutly religious the people are and claims that  the "unknown God" inscribed on an altar  is the God that created the world and the God that Paul worships. The results of Paul's preaching are similar some at the Aeropagus convert while others scoff.

Where have you found God in the words of Holy Scripture?
