About this listen

 In this profound work, Justin Martyr passionately defends Christianity, addressing the emperors—esteemed as just and philosophical figures—about the unjust persecution of Christians. He argues that Christians embody the true essence of philosophy and offer the only sacrifices truly worthy of God, the Creator. Through prayer and thanksgiving, they uphold moral integrity, inspired by the teachings of Jesus Christ, whom they revere next to God. This compelling message emphasizes their belief in the resurrection and the transformative power of their faith in daily life.Copyright Religious Texts and Commentary Christianity Philosophy Social Sciences Spirituality
