In Berea we see Paul in the ideal spot: Jews who seem to understand that the only question is "What does the Bible say?" In Athens we see Paul as the debater, in a "Francis Schaeffer" role. The Athenian ministry is not as fruitful, but it's not because Paul chose the wrong style of presentation. It's because these people are only enamored with new ideas. There are no absolutes, no agreed upon source of knowledge. We must be aware of this and tailor our ministry on the basis of where we start. But as always we must end up at the Bible and Christ.
