ABOUT MARS HILL

Mars Hill is a discussion forum dedicated to encouraging and equipping one another to conduct a thoughtful investigation of Christianity.

THE NAME

Mars Hill or the Areopagus is located near the Acropolis in Athens. During the 1st century A.D. many of the philosophers and religious leaders would meet at Mars Hill to discuss new ideas and philosophies. Luke describes this in the book of the Acts of the Apostles, chapter 17:

¹⁸And also some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers were conversing with him. Some were saying, "What would this idle babbler wish to say?" Others, "He seems to be a proclaimer of strange deities,"--because he was preaching Jesus and the resurrection.

¹⁹And they took him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, "May we know what this new teaching is which you are proclaiming?"

²⁰"For you are bringing some strange things to our ears; so we want to know what these things mean."

²¹(Now all the Athenians and the strangers visiting there used to spend their time in nothing other than telling or hearing something new.)

-Acts 17:18-21 (NASB)
