St. Justin Martyr is known as the outstanding apologist of the
second century. While the Apostolic Fathers like St. Clement of
Rome, St. Ignatius of Antioch, and St. Polycarp had addressed
members within the Christian fold, St. Justin is considered to be
the first prominent defender of the Christian faith against
non-Christians and the enemies of the Church. The chief sources for
the uncertain and meager chronological data of Justin's life are
his own writings, the two Apologies and the Dialogue with Trypho.
The circumstances leading up to his conversion are recorded in the
first eight chapters of the Dialogue, and the events surrounding
his death are reported in the Acta SS. Justini et Sociorum, an
authentic source of the latter part of the second century.
Historians place his birth in the beginning of the second century
(ca. 100-110 A.D.) at Flavia Neapolis (today Nablus) in Samaria.
Although St. Epiphanius calls him a Samaritan, and he himself
refers to his people as Samarians, Justin was not Jewish in either
race or religion. His family was rather of pagan and Greco-Roman
anscestry. They had come as colonists to Flavia Neapolis during the
reign of Titus (79-81 A.D.), the son of Flavius Vespasian (69-79),
who had built this city and had granted its inhabitants the
privileges of Roman citizens. Obviously, the parents of Justin had
considerable means and could afford to give their son an excellent
education in the pagan culture of the day. Young Justin had a keen
mind, was inquisitive by nature and endowed with a burning thirst
for learning. He tried to broaden his knowledge further by
extensive travels. Driven by an inner urge and a profound
inclination for philosophy, he subsequently frequented the schools
of the Stoics, the Peripatetics, the Pythagoreans, and the
Platonists. He set out to reach the truth; to gain a perfect
knowledge of God was his greatest and only ambition. Dissatisfied
with the Stoics and Peripatetics, he tells us of finding temporary
peace in the philosophy of the Platonists: 'the perception of
incorporeal things quite overwhelmed me and the Platonic theory of
ideas added wings to my mind, so that in a short time I imagined
myself a wise man. So great was my folly that I fully expected
immediately to gaze upon God.'

Justin Martyr was one of the earliest contenders for the Christian
faith. Like so many other Christians at the time, Justin suffered
the ultimate punishment: death. Justin Martyr argued with
philosophers, cynics, and skeptics wherever he found them. This
included even the Roman Senate, the audience Justin had in mind for
the two apologies (or, 'defenses') contained in this volume. Justin
sought to set the record straight about what the Christians truly
believed in the face of lies, slanders, and misunderstandings that
were prevalent throughout the Roman Empire. Justin Martyr left an
indelible mark on the history of the Christian Church and
influences Christians to this very day.

Justin Martyr was one of the Fathers of the Church, born in Sichem,
Samaria. He was converted to Christianity, studied Stoic and
Platonic philosophy, and founded a school of Christian philosophy
at Rome, where he wrote two Apologies on Christian belief (150-60).
He is said to have been martyred at Rome. Curiosity is baffled, but
faith and love are fed by these scanty relics of primitive
antiquity. Yet may we well be grateful for what we have. These
writings come down to us as the earliest response of converted
nations to the testimony of Jesus. They are primary evidences of
the canon and the credibility of the New Testament. -from the
