TechnoratiPaul's apologetic method did not make him popular in Athens. He was not hired on as a philosopher on Mars Hill. Some began to sneer. Others professed interest in hearing more – but later.

The world has no need of half-evangelists preaching a half-gospel to the half-converted, and leading a half-hearted church.
