From Jerusalem to Athens
by Dr. Walter Oakley ~ 19 Nisan 5768 - April 23, 2008
Lesson #1
We begin our new teaching series called “From Jerusalem to Athens.”
In our first class, we introduce our class. Likewise, we lay the foundation for all the coming classes.
In this class, we introduce life in the first century and the socio-political environment surrounding the book of Acts.
We discuss the definition of the word Jerusalem (YaruShalem - a whole and complete teaching) versus the definition of Athens (the home of the goddess Athena and as Thayers defines Athens (uncertainty).
Likewise, we discuss the socio-political scene of the first century and the events that surrounded the lives of Yeshua’s talmidim.
