"The First Apology of Justin Martyr" is an early work of Christian apologetics attended to to the Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius. In addition to arguing from the persecution of individuals solely to be Christian, Justin defends the viewpoint of Christianity and gives a detailed justification of contemporary Christian techniques and rituals. In the first chapters he discusses the main criticisms of modern-day Christians; particularly, atheism, immorality, and disloyalty to the Empire.
One of Justin's most significant themes includes his information of the logos, a philosophical concept of order of reason and knowledge. Throughout the "First Apology", Justin argues that Jesus Christ is the incarnation of the Logos, which leads him to the substantiation that any individual that has spoken with reason, even those who lived before Christ, linked with the logos in the form of Christ, and it is thus, in truth, a Christian.
Justin (100-ca.165) was an early on Christian apologist, the foremost interpreter of the theory of the Logos in the 2nd century. He was martyred after disputing with the cynic philosopher Crescens.
