Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a translation of several important early Christian texts, including the Epistles of Clement of Rome, Polycarp, and Ignatius, as well as the First Apology of Justin Martyr. These texts were written in the first and second centuries AD and provide valuable insights into the beliefs and practices of the early Christian church. The translator, Chevallier, has sought to provide an accurate and readable English version of these texts, which are written in Greek and Latin.

The First Apology of Justin Martyr is a defense of Christianity addressed to the Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius.
