Amphipolis and Apollonia were Macedonian stops on Paul’s route to Thessalonica; Thessalonica and Berea were cities where he preached in synagogues before opposition drove him onward. Athens, home of the Areopagus council, frames Paul’s address declaring that God is near to all people, though they must seek him.
