Wow what a phenomenal video! I had no idea about Dionysus beginning a path of faith after that, that lead to a church in Athens, wow. Thank you, this brought tears to my eyes because to think, God has such amazing timing, to bring people to His truth...He did it in my life long ago too. I'm so thankful, this was inspiring!
This was so incredibly impactful, from beginning to end. I just read Acts 17 and was so moved by the Athens section that I had to look for more commentary on this and came across this video. Thank you for compiling this. Super insightful! Wow!
Outstanding video. I was just randomly searching for videos about the altar of the unknown God and, as a cinematography and filmmaking nut, the camera specs being in the title caught my eye. I can't believe how good the editing, the score, and the color grading is in this video.
Oh! My! Goodness! A masterful presentation that transports the viewer to the time and context of these often pondered scriptures. It was a fresh awakening for me. Thanks so much!
Acts 17 brought me here! That scripture is so appropriate for where we are today. The “knowledge” era. Today we are seekers of a multitude of “gods.” Another word for gods today can be options, preferences, resources. We pick what we wish to serve us. Then dedicate ourselves to it. That would qualify atheism as a false god. Somebody in Athens was smart enough to make a statue saying “TO THE UNKNOWN GOD” as an option to add to the many gods of the day. Paul preached that God to the people. That statue represented the only God that was actually God. Although man bears the fingerprint of God, God must be discovered by man. Without knowing the true God, all that is left are the false ones. Amazing work on this video.
Thank you. I stood on the Areopagus hill just a few days ago. While I wouldn’t call myself an atheist, I also don’t regularly attend church. Still, it was a powerful experience, especially knowing the history of this place.
Hi Pete, Paul Hartung sent me the link to this. I was pleased and surprised seeing you in the video! Excellent job. Appreciate the work you did here. Glad to have it to share with others. ~Patty Hicks~
excellent work, beautiful images and great storytelling. This C70 camera is superb. greetings from France, may God bless you in your video projects for Jesus.
Hi! Thank you so much for your question. It was shot mainly on three lenses. 1. Sigma Art 1.4 | Canon 24-70 EF ll | Canon 70-200 EF lll. Yes, the 0.71 Adapter was used. Thank you for your feedback!
Jesus found me , I am so greatfull . He is the God of Love . The bible is the best love story ever - God loves us so much that he gives his only son , so we are redeemed .
8:55 like Jesus saying the opening bar of Psalm 22 and Eminem using a line from MOB on Papa Doc in 8 Mile. Cultural context; Read Psalm 22; Jesus just identified on The Cross and hit his finishing move and picked up a special version of the 123
I'm not sure how fruitful his work was in Athens. Afaik there were no major churches in athens and also greek religion stayed in Athens much longer than in Thessaloniki for example. In Thessaloniki in 300s they already started converting a lot of well-known buildings into churches

Images are NOT idols. Don't spout unbiblical anti-apostolic rhetoric. We do NOT worship images. God commanded the Israelites to make GOLD CHERUBIM on the ark of the covenant. God commands images of what's holy to be made by man as depicted in the bible.
Yes, Paul was Jewish and then he came to believe in Christ as the Messiah. That was part of the reason was he was so troubled by the idols in Athens, because of the 2nd commandment. - Pastor Pete
Why so credulous? Acts 17 is clearly a made up story. It’s full of anachronisms. In Acts, Paul debates the philosophers of Athens in the Agora but that has been destroyed and repurposed by that time in history. Furthermore, the philosophers would not have been debating the truths of Greek mythology. By that time in history they were stoicists and epicureans. The arguments that Paul makes in Acts are trite and easily dismissed.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but there is a lot of historical and literary evidence from ancient sources that Paul was in Athens and was brought before the Aeropagus. In addition, there are TONS of ancient sources that tell of the life of Dionysius the Aeropagite. Even though we disagree, thank you for watching and engaging our video. Best wishes, Pastor Pete
Look more into it and maybe you will be convinced your self about Jesus like Paul was him self ,I'm just saying there are powerful argument for the historical accuracy of the new testament record.
99.9% of all humans will fail at understanding the Gospel, including pastors, priests, intellectuals, and academics to say nothing of laypeople or those congregating in churches. It is a very, very small minority who are guaranteed salvation through Christ’s atoning sacrifice, not because Christ or God will it so but because humans are playing out Adam’s Original Sin over and over again without understanding anything.

Excellent video brother, thank you for reminding us about Dionysus also.
Perfect 👌
“The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.”
Great documentary, thank you

My name in Christ is Dionysius. Thank you, brother. Soul-touching video. God bless!
In reality saint Dionysios was the first father of the Church , a great spirit , the Aristotle of the Church .
This looks great!!
I want to know more about Paul and athens. thanks to this video. It was very enlightened.
Whoa! That's excellent! Good job.
WELL DONE!! ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE!
Amen 🙏🏻
Can you tell us your sources
Good video. Good word. Well done. I watched a good piece or art glorifying Jesus.
This is awesome! What main lens did you use? (0.71 adapter?) Very nice story, nice grading.
Hi! Thank you so much for your question. It was shot mainly on three lenses. 1. Sigma Art 1.4 | Canon 24-70 EF ll | Canon 70-200 EF lll. Yes, the 0.71 Adapter was used. Thank you for your feedback!
I see you had some flares throughout. Have you noticed the purple flare everyone talks about when using the .71x adapter and shooting against the sun?
What is the website for PDX Outreach? I would like to find out more about them, but a google search doesn't make it clear.
Jesus found me , I am so greatfull . He is the God of Love .
The bible is the best love story ever - God loves us so much that he gives his only son , so we are redeemed .

Cultural context;
Read Psalm 22; Jesus just identified on The Cross and hit his finishing move and picked up a special version of the 123
Paul was Greek from Crete.
I'm not sure how fruitful his work was in Athens. Afaik there were no major churches in athens and also greek religion stayed in Athens much longer than in Thessaloniki for example. In Thessaloniki in 300s they already started converting a lot of well-known buildings into churches
Whats the persons name who produced this documentary?
9:00 to 9:11 very relevant
Even the Bible is written in Greece in it.
Athens was like Berkley? Really now?
I believe tradition holds that he was murdered in Rome
5/02 Please mention who three Stoics from Paul hometown Tarsus were as Paul mentions word Stoic in Acts 17/18 together with Epicureans
8/41 Yes one of them was Eratus who wrote we are His Offspring ?
Word philosophers as well as philosophia the subject in Colossians 2/8
Where exactly is Saint Dionysius Street and is there Saint Paul Street nearby and Saint Damaris street?
6/01 Is that Church dedicated to Saint Paul?How many are in Athens
9/15 The Days of IGNORANCE are over /Words that are So offensive to modern ears /Are these words on Paul Sermon plaque ?
Perhaps If you ever go back to Athens you could point them out since Secular West today is in secular Swamp of Anti spiritual ignorance
You filmed in a world church where they have images and idols like your documentary was talking against
Images are NOT idols. Don't spout unbiblical anti-apostolic rhetoric. We do NOT worship images. God commanded the Israelites to make GOLD CHERUBIM on the ark of the covenant. God commands images of what's holy to be made by man as depicted in the bible.
Was Paul/saul a Hebrew Paul was a Hebrew do your research he was never Jewish
Yes, Paul was Jewish and then he came to believe in Christ as the Messiah. That was part of the reason was he was so troubled by the idols in Athens, because of the 2nd commandment. - Pastor Pete
@@parklanechurch There was no letter j during the time when Paul / saul walked the Earth. Do your research.
I had to quit watching your vide because the music is so annoying and louder than you speaking.
It could have been said nicer, but who would be rude.
I can hear fine 😁
Not a problem for me either.
