Second Apology of Justin Martyr

by Saint Justin Martyr

The Second Apology of Justin Martyr is a powerful and eloquent defense of the Christian faith written in the mid-second century AD. Justin Martyr, a prominent early Christian philosopher, addresses the Roman Senate, seeking to dispel misconceptions and refute accusations leveled against Christians. He argues for the reasonableness and ethical superiority of Christianity, drawing on philosophical arguments and highlighting the moral conduct of Christians. The text provides valuable insights into the early development of Christian thought, the tensions between Christianity and Roman society, and the philosophical foundations of Christian belief.
