“One of my mantras is focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex. You must work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple.”
-Steve Jobs, Founder of Apple
What Happened at Mars Hill?
Mars Hill is the Roman name for a hill in Athens, Greece, called the Hill of Ares or the Areopagus. Rising some 377 feet above the land below and not far from the Acropolis and Agora (marketplace), Mars Hill served as the meeting place for the Areopagus Court, the highest court in Greece for civil, criminal, and religious matters. Mars Hill was where a council of civic leaders met—an important meeting place where philosophy, religion, and law were discussed.
