Abstract
The aim of this article is to investigate the allusion to the possibility of touching
God (t/RlAatPacu) in Paul's Areopagus speech (Acts 17:27). The article aims at
assessing the Lukan notion of God's nearness in space and time. The Areopagus
discourse is investigated against the background of its imbeddednes in the holistic
context of Acts. God's nearness is studied in light of common Hellenistic parallel
epiphanies. It focuses on dream types in Acts, epiphanies of Jesus, epiphanies of
God, and in conclusion the expression "filled with the Spirit".
