Note: the Kindle edition does not include the notes nor an introduction. Just the apologies. But even without notes, I was able to easily understand the translation. Review: easy to read - I've made it a habit to read a complementary book daily to my bible study. Since I'd decided to start reading the Patristic Fathers, St Justin Martyr naturally came up. My concern was that I wouldn't be able to understand what I was reading. Not true at all. This book has a lengthy introduction which should be read before diving into St Justin's works. Then...the notes are so helpful in spelling some things out for the reader. Note that I'm not a seminary student, not even in college. I'm just a retired housewife trying to improve my knowledge of the Lord and this book is worth the plunge into the Patristic Fathers. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #372,965 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #933 in Christian Historical Theology (Books) #2,132 in History of Christianity (Books) #2,455 in Christian Church History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 61 Reviews | ## Images ![St. Justin Martyr: The First and Second Apologies (Ancient Christian Writers) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71qNjUEgqVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kindle Edition - No Notes *by M***T on December 23, 2025* It provides great insight into the challenges and practices of the early Christian church.

Justin's defense of Christianity to Caesar was a brave and honorable act, and his knowledge of Old Testament scriptures as well as the teachings of Christ demonstrated his maturity in the word of God, as he used prophecy to prove that Christ is the Messiah and that Christianity should be accepted. His writings indicate that Christians are peace loving, not interested in overthrowing the government, and not "cannibals", i.e. the eucharist. Justin's understanding of the importance of the eucharist and its weekly observance, the importance and purpose of baptism, the simplicity and purpose of Christian worship (on Sunday), and the gathering of disciples (rich and poor), who gave of their resources on a weekly basis (to care for needy), and the hope the early Christians shared in the resurrection and eternal life is a refreshing reinforcement of the simple teachings found in the Bible, before the centuries of additions and changes. Finally, JM was not perfect, and errors in his recollections were pointed out. JM was not an inspired writer, but a courageous early Christian. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/5486841-st-justin-martyr-the-first-and-second-apologies-ancient-christian](https://www.desertcart.be/products/5486841-st-justin-martyr-the-first-and-second-apologies-ancient-christian) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-10-30*
