Another woman

Acts 17 : 16-34

As usual with the other woman she is in hiding. Luke just slips in a mention at the end of the passage. But there she is, Damaris, one of the first to hear Paul and believe in Athens. Men and women were there, in the Areopagus. Nothing more is definitely known about Damaris other than the fact that she was there in the forefront of the spread of the gospel in Athens. What is known is the fact that Luke thought her important enough, in her own right, for him to mention.
