Saint Justin Martyr

Saint Justin Martyr, born around 100 AD in Flavia Neapolis (modern-day Nablus, Palestine), was an early Christian apologist and philosopher. His journey toward faith began with a search for truth that led him through various philosophical schools, including Stoicism and Platonism. Ultimately, Justin found his answers in Christianity, embracing it wholeheartedly and becoming one of its most articulate defenders. He dedicated his life to explaining and rationalizing the Christian faith against the backdrop of Greco-Roman culture and philosophy, writing extensively to elucidate the beliefs and practices of early Christians.

Justin's most notable works include the "First Apology" and "Second Apology," where he addresses the Roman emperor and defends Christians against accusations of immorality and atheism.
