From Phillip Jensen:

“Fathers are so important in life, even in this anti-patriarchal age. For fatherhood is derived from God the Father. He is the provider and protector of us all, who knows our needs before we even ask. He is not far from us, and he is open to our prayers.

This is an important point in Paul’s logic as he attacks the inconsistency and incoherence of Athenian idolatry.”

– Peter and Phillip Jensen continue their discussion based around Paul’s speech at the Areopagus in Acts 17.
