Mission

In class today we compared two experiences of mission in the book of Acts . firstly Peter in Acts 2 preaching from the Old Testament to people who (mostly) had a knowledge of Jewish theology, thousands accepted Jesus as the promised Messiah that day - Then later in Acts 17 Paul preached to the Gentiles (who) mostly had no knowledge of the scriptures - so he used what they knew (Greek philosophy and poetry), and just a few were saved. So what does this mean for mission in post modern N.Z. where (mostly) people have zilch awareness of the Bible.
