CHRISTIANITY IN A MELTING POT
Our world is multicultural, multi-
religious, multiphilosophical. How
can Christians engage in communi-
cating across worldviews in this plu-
ralistic and often relativistic society?
When Paul visited Athens, he found
an equally diverse setting. The
Greco-Roman world was a multi-
cultural and multireligious melting pot.
Seeking to embolden the church’s
witness in today’s society, Paul
Copan and Kenneth Litwak show
how Paul’s speech to the Athenians
in Acts 17 provides a practical
model for Christians to “point
contemporary Athenians beyond‘an unknown God’ to the God and
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Paul Copan is the Pledger Family Chair of Philosophy and Ethics at

Creation Out of Nothing: A Biblical, Philosophical and Scientific Exploration .
Formerly he served with Ravi Zacharias International Ministries and
taught at Trinity International University.

PRAISE FOR THE GOSPEL IN THE
MARKETPLACE OF IDEAS
“Imagine Paul preaching in first-century Athens.
Now imagine stepping into Paul’s shoes and
proclaiming the gospel in the twenty-first-centuryWestern world. In this thought-provoking book, a
Christian apologist and a New Testament scholar
join forces to read Luke’s famous story of Paul on
Mars Hill, and the result is as compelling as it
is remarkable. Copan and Litwak issue a robust
invitation for God’s people to read Scripture and
our increasingly post-Christian world together inthe service of communicating well the good news.”
