Description

tvDocumentary

The idea for That the World May Know films began in 1992 when Michigan entrepreneur Ed Prince became exposed to Ray Vander Laan's unique method of Bible teaching. Ray, or RVL as he is affectionately known, has always believed that to more greatly understand and appreciate the Bible, one had to have a sense of the land and the culture from which it sprang. Biblical analogies and examples, while meaningful and helpful even to this day, were first meant to convey God's truth to particular people in a particular time and place. So the more fully we can appreciate those times and places, the more fully we can respond to the power of the Word.

Episode 1Engaging the Mind: Paul in the Stoa of Athens

The people of the Bible lived in temple-building cultures. Temples provided pagan gods with a place to live, keeping them close to the people who worshiped them. Even Israel did the same – first Solomon, then Nehemiah and Zerubbabel, and eventually Herod would build or renovate temples for God to dwell in. But God’s plan was bigger than that. God had another temple that He was in the process of building: His people themselves. What would happen when that pagan vision of gods living in huge, ornate temples came face-to-face with the idea of God living within and among His people? Join the Apostle Paul as he journeys to Athens, home to one of the most beautiful pagan temples on earth.
