Excerpt from The Religious Instinct of Man
Paul's'appearance in Athens was one of the most significant events connected with the first ef forts to evangelize the pagan world. This apostle of Christianity came to preach where the voice of Demosthenes had thrilled the listening multitudes; to hold up a moral standard where Aristotle had taught his ethics; to discourse on world-origin where Hesiod's Theogony was familiar; to speak of immortality where Plato had reasoned well, and where Socrates had died a martyr to his glorious hope.
