defended Christian beliefs using Epicurean and Stoic philosophy.

In Athens Paul adapted his approach to his audience (Acts 17). After speaking in the synagogue and the marketplace, he was invited to the Areopagus where he appealed to Epicurean and Stoic thinkers, quoted their poets and the “unknown god,” and used philosophical categories to present Christ and the resurrection.
