Thresholds to the AEGEAN: Voices of Greeks

Smuggled out of Berea by night, Paul is left alone in Athens, arguing in a marketplace built on other gods, and the philosophers who hear him cannot decide whether he is a fool or a herald of something they have never had a word for. In Corinth, eighteen months take root in a city that runs on trade and skepticism in equal measure. In Ephesus, twelve believers who have never heard of the Holy Spirit receive it. Seven brothers try to use Paul's name as a magic formula and are torn apart in the street for their trouble. A silversmith named Demetrius starts a riot because the gospel is bad for the souvenir trade. And in an upper room in Troas, a boy named Eutychus falls asleep during Paul's longest sermon - and falls three stories for it. Ten witnesses carry the story through the longest, slowest stretch of the road, where nothing is settled quickly and nothing is free.
