The culture in Corinth conflicted greatly with the lifestyle that the Apostle Paul proclaimed to those who chose to follow Jesus. In the same way, the church today is called to proclaim the gospel in every environment, showing the world what it looks like when we give our lives to Jesus.

Riassunto
How do you live in a culture where the worldview conflicts with Christianity?
Learn from the Apostle Paul as he presents his beliefs to the most powerful court in Athens and settles among the Greco-Romans of Corinth—cultures that valued wealth and class, worship of multiple gods, and decadent pleasures above all else.
In this sixteenth volume of the That The World May Know series, take a tour through the land of the Bible and discover how to live in your present-day Athens or Corinth—a dechristianized Western world—in a way that keeps your faith strong and glorifies God.
This discovery guide includes passages of Scripture explored in the DVD (sold separately); questions for discussion and personal reflection; personal Bible studies to help you deepen your learning experience between sessions; as well as sidebars, maps, photos, and other study tools.
Sessions include:
- Engaging the Mind: Paul in the Stoa of Athens
- Engaging the Heart: Paul Before the Areopagus
