This week when I was researching Paul at the Areopagus I found several references to Socrates.  Being totally ignorant of this Greek philosopher I did a bit of quick online stuff to find out a bit more about him.

Yesterday and today I've been doing some research for our new Theological Reflection group, due to start in a couple of weeks, and blow me, if the books I've bought on the subject requested don't start talking about Socrates.

The two connections are, independently, appropriate, but I wouldn't have imagined meeting both in the same week.

I'm not planning on talking about Socrates in either context but it was a little curious.
