Summary

Our world is multicultural, multireligious, multiphilosophical. It ranges from fundamental monotheism to do-it-yourself spirituality to strident atheism. How can Christians engage in communicating across worldviews in this pluralistic and often relativistic society? When Paul visited Athens, he found an equally multicultural and multireligious setting. From Jews to Gentiles, elite to poor, slaves to slave owners, from olive-skinned Gentiles to dark-skinned Ethiopians--the Greco-Roman world was a dynamic mixture. Religious practices were also wide and varied, with the imperial cult of emperor worship being the most prominent. Many also frequented the temples for the traditional Greek pantheon, and participated in the secret rituals of the mystery religions. Join us to learn how to "be more biblically informed, culturally astute, and creatively engaged to winsomely challenge the idols of our time and to point contemporary Athenians beyond 'an unknown God' to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."

0:00.0	Hi friends, thanks so much for downloading this podcast and it is my most sincere hope that
0:04.4	you're going to hear something that's going to help you grow up in him.
0:07.1	Moving off that diet of milk, more toward a diet of meat so that you can become a bold,
0:11.9	strong, courageous Christian, which is exactly what the times require right now.
0:16.1	Let me tell you if I may about our truth tool this month. It's called Surviving Religion 101.
0:20.6	And the author wrote this book specifically to help young people as they go into college,
0:24.4	know how to contend for the faith. The data tells us that a lot of people walk away from their faith
0:29.2	once they hit a college campus. Now, this would be a perfect gift, by the way, for someone
0:33.5	who's about to graduate, to really truly understand that knowing what they believe and why they
0:37.6	believe it is going to be one of the most important parts of their education for the rest of their
0:42.0	life. But here's what I discovered when I got into this book. It helped me. I'm long
0:46.7	past being a college student, but it answered the kinds of questions you and I will hear in the
0:50.8	marketplace on a regular basis. So while, in theory, it was written for students going off to
0:55.2	college, it's written for every single one of us. How do we answer the major objections to the
1:00.7	Christian faith? This book beautifully with clarity and biblical truth tells us how we can
1:06.6	know the truth and how we can share it with the watching and hurting world. If you'd like a
1:10.8	copy of Surviving Religion 101, you can get one by simply calling 877 Janet 58. That's 877.
1:19.4	Janet 58, a gift of any amount. And my way of saying thank you to you for supporting our program.
1:24.2	We are Remember Listener Supported Radio. I'll be happy to say thank you by sending you a copy
1:28.8	of Surviving Religion 101. You can also give online in the market with Janet Partial.org. Again,
1:35.1	in the market with Janet Partial.org, but you know that that's how you got to this podcast.
1:39.8	Go to the bottom of the page. There's the cover of the book. Click on through. Make your gift.
