The Second Apology

Book • 156
The Second Apology, written by Justin Martyr around 153 CE, is a continuation of his First Apology.

It addresses the Roman Senate and Emperor, appealing for justice and reform in the trials of Christians.

The work highlights the injustices faced by Christians, such as being condemned to death solely for their profession of faith.

Justin also explains Christian theology, including the concept of the Trinity, the Creation and Fall, and the role of free will and human responsibility for sin.

He contrasts Christian teachings with those of philosophers like Socrates and argues for the freedom of conscience and religious belief.
