Engage his audience.
Paul’s speech in Athens builds common ground, cites their poets, and uses their altar to the “unknown god” to introduce the gospel. His tone is respectful and persuasive—aimed at connecting with listeners and leading them to consider and accept Christ, not simply to show he was smarter or to humiliate them.
