Cultures in Conflict Discovery Guide: Paul Proclaims Jesus As Lord – Part 2

by Ray Vander Laan

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 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 will take you on an interactive journey.

In this second study on Paul's missionary journeys, Vander Laan takes readers to Athens and Corinth to learn how Paul interjects Greek rationalism, alongside the teachings of the Torah, to convert new followers in the agora. After leaving Athens for Corinth, Vander Laan describes the ways in which the early church learned to find unifying values and principles that set them apart from the general population of Corinth and explains why it was necessary to hold themselves to higher and different standards as representatives a new faith. I'm still not in agreement with some of Vander Laan's theology, but the book paired with the video series gives a Sunday School class an excellent lens through which to see the ancient world as it was and as it is now. The video portion will make you want to visit Greece again and again.
