Just Talking And Listening

Acts 17:19-21

Then they took him and brought him to a meeting of the Areopagus, where they said to him, 'May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting? You are bringing some strange ideas to our ears, and we would like to know what they mean.' (All the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there spent their time doing nothing but talking about and listening to the latest ideas.) (NIVUK)

Paul had probably not intended to start his evangelistic mission in Athens without Silas and Timothy (Acts 17:15). But he got drawn into a discussion about Jesus with the local and visiting philosophers (Acts 17:18). His exposition of the death and resurrection of Jesus was novel to them; an intriguing idea for them to debate. So they invited, or forced, Paul to address the court of the Areopagus.
