TWO APOLOGIES
Justin Martyr (100-165)
After reprinting the wonderful "Dialogue with Trypho" we here present Justin's Apologies. This father of the church, first a philosopher, later a Christian convert, lived in the second century between 110 and 165 AD. He died a martyr, sealing the sincerity of his heart and faithfulness to the Truth. His writings are an amazing historical document. But we would do him no justice if we relegated the meaning of Justin's intellectual production to the past. His writings are meaningful and inspiring to this day for every authentic Christian who has to give an account of his faith and beliefs to a world that often is hostile, for no true reason.
