The Apologies of Justin Martyr is a book that contains the writings of the early Christian apologist, Justin Martyr. The book includes two of Justin's most famous works, his First and Second Apologies. These texts were written in the 2nd century AD and were addressed to the Roman Emperor and the Senate, respectively. In these apologies, Justin defends Christianity against the accusations of atheism, immorality, and disloyalty that were commonly leveled against the early Christians. In addition to the apologies, the book also includes the Epistle to Diognetus, a letter written by an unknown author in the 2nd century AD. This letter is addressed to an unnamed person named Diognetus and provides a defense of Christianity and an explanation of its beliefs and practices. The book was edited and translated by Basil Lanneau Gildersleeve, a prominent American classical scholar and professor of Greek at Johns Hopkins University. Gildersleeve's translation is considered to be one of the most accurate and readable versions of Justin's apologies and the Epistle to Diognetus. Overall, The Apologies of Justin Martyr is an important work for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the early Christian Church. It provides valuable insights into the beliefs and practices of the early Christians, as well as the challenges they faced in a hostile and often persecutory environment.With An Introduction And Notes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
