As a Greek, a historian, but first and foremost, a Christian, a big part of me believes that all of the musings, philosophies and experimentation was meant to culminate in the following moment that would change Greece and the world forever: "Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, You men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, 'To The Unknown God'. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you." (Acts 17:22-23)

Greek history doesn’t stop with the Hellenistic period. Equally important, the Ptolemaic, the Roman and the Byzantine all have huge implications for Christianity around the world and particularly in Europe, Africa and the Near East. Yet, in the West the most important and most direct connections to the Greek world are forgotten or ignored.

@Spark_Iskra_z_Polski4 жыл бұрын
The kingdom is the kingdom. It brings about some culture with itself but it does not need to be adopted. The west is fed on Greek and Roman culture because this is what our elites chose for our education but we might just as well have a more general education dealing with Indian or Chinese or African culture. These are to some extent political choices I think.

Hello Bruce, I am an avid watcher of your series of videos. I was just in Heraklion, Crete and got to visit Knossos. The guide who was with us said that the origin of the Minoans is unsure but it is not believed that they were even Indo-European, hence they can't be said to be part of Greek history/civilization, although many of their myths have entered Greek mythology.

Consider how after the first "Great War" of the Late Bronze Age (The Trojan War) the Greeks (aka, the Aegeans) experience a great "Dark Age" that lasted for a few hundred years until about the Poetic Age. Strange, then... how the Hellenistic Greeks would experience the "Philosophic Age" (following the great Hellenistic "Civil War" ie, The Peloponnesian War) that mirrored the great Dark-Age following the Trojan War.

I am also interested in ancient history, and am a student of history with no achieved upper degrees; however, it has been my lifelong study with a bachelors degree in the study of history as well as upper degree work in the field including historiographical studies. I only mention this because it does not appear that you have history degrees? and I know how complex history can be! but alas, perhaps yours is in theology or master of liberal arts although your info does not go on to say exactly what. I also see from your website that you believe the world began in 4,000 BC? is this correct? I am going to listen to this lecture with these things in mind and with all the respect since I can see you have carefully studied & given of your time faithfully, although I believe your dating system of biblical events may be way off such as the Exodus, which I believe most historians place moses' death some time after 1200 BC after the great Egyptian & Hittite empires had worn themselves out....leaving room for the Canaanites & Hebrews to come forward as minor empires & founding of kingship & Jersualem... But I am sure you will avoid the "Athens or Jerusalem" question, as the NT was written entirely in Greek, I will be anxious to hear your summary of ancient Greece. But I am afraid of disappointingly inaccuracies in most Christians' inability to free themselves from literalism of Biblical rewritten & translated texts! whereas the Sumerian, Hittite, Egyptian records are primary sources (clay tablets & monuments). The fact that we are all using this internet technology cannot even closely be attributed to any Hebrew contributions on that level, but rather to the Greeks & Hellenization of places like Alexandria including jews at later times who wrote the Bible or put it in its final form. To believe that earlier civilizations contributed nothing including the "Yahweh" notions from the Sinai tribes during their wanderings and other monotheistic notions especially in Egypt, or of Sargon who also was delivered in a basket to be raised in a palace & become kind, or the earlier Sumerian story of birds sent out from an ark after a great flood, that they had no influences on later oral histories & writings done much later by Canaanites/Hebrews .... you would be an apologetic and teacher of the worst kind, one unable to see what has risen from the dead (archaeology) and blinded by your own wish to literalize a great book, but one which MUST be viewed properly & historically as well as spiritually.... this, like evolutionary theories should not affect our beliefs at all! and when they do, it is the worst kind of evil to betray Truth....

The Theory, that the Exodus plagues of Egypt were caused by a volcano, is Ludacris, why? Because, I would like to know of all the volcanoes that erupted, including Mount Saint Helen, that caused anything close to the biblical Exodus, and the reason that they don't disagree with the Bible, is that they found Egyptian papyrus writings that described the plagues, so you have another source, besides the Bible describing this Event, also other evidence, that supports the Bible; you know what it is? Believers accept it, and atheists reject it, but the real Truth is, those people, places, and events happened, but the devil uses anything, and anyone to keep you ignorant of the real Truth, that Jesus Saves us.
