to go first to the Jews
to avoid the Jews
to go first to the Gentiles
to soak-up the culture before talking to anyone about Jesus

Answer 1

In Athens, Paul's mission strategy primarily involved **to soak up the culture before talking to anyone about Jesus**. He engaged with the culture, observed the city, and took note of various altars and objects of worship. This approach allowed him to understand the beliefs of the Athenians and to address them in a way that was relevant to their context when he later spoke to the philosophers on Mars Hill (Areopagus).
