THE UNKNOWN GOD
Acts 17:14-34
Dr. Vines 2/8/87
It won't be too long now that these young people sitting down here and
different places in the building are going to finish high school. You are
going to graduate by the grace of God. Probably there will be a lot of you who
will be leaving home and going away to college. I that's true, when you move

into those very kinds of atmospheres. This is something of what Paul
experienced when he journeyed to the city of Athens Greece. At that time
Athens was the intellectual and also the artistic center of the world. It was
known the world over for its literature, its oratory, its architecture, its
sculpture and for its ph ...
