Synopsis

When pressed regarding his teachings, Paul informs the Athenians that the singular God "does not dwell in temples constructed by human hands" (Acts 17:24). It is unsurprising, then, that those seeking to understand Jesus within the Greco-Roman world would inquire of the early Christians: "Where, then, does your god reside?" A visit to the grand temple of Athena in Priene offers a glimpse into how the spirit of the living God manifests itself in the world today. **Scripture References:** 1 Cor
