Summary

When Paul is speaking to the Athenians, he embodies God’s passionate desire to enfold them into the body of Christ. Paul recognizes that the city’s idols reflect people’s desire for the divine, but Paul directs them to God and connects their desire with God’s desire for them to repent and become part of the body of Christ.
