The Areopagus sermon is the most dramatic & fullest reported speech of the missionary career of Saint Paul & followed a shorter address in Lystra recorded in Acts 14:15-17.The background to the sermon is that Paul had encountered conflict as a result of his preaching in Thessalonica & Berea in northern Greece & had been carried to Athens as a place of safety. According to the Acts of the Apostles, while he was waiting for his companions Silas & Timothy to arrive, Paul was distressed to see Athens full of idols. Commentator John Gill remarked: his soul was troubled & his heart was grieved, ... he was exasperated & provoked to the last degree: he was in a paroxysm; his heart was hot within him; he had a burning fire in his bones, & was weary with forbearing, & could not stay; his zeal wanted vent, & he gave it. So Paul went to the synagogue & the Agora (Greek: εν τη αγορα, marketplace) on a number of occasions ('daily'), to preach about the Resurrection of Jesus. Some Greeks then took him to a meeting at the Areopagus, the high court in Athens, to explain himself. The Areopagus literally meant the rock of Ares in the city & was a center of temples, cultural facilities, & a high court. It is conjectured by Robert Paul Seesengood that it may have been illegal to preach a foreign deity in Athens, which would have thereby made Paul's sermon a combination of a "guest lecture" & a trial.
