The holy, glorious, right-victorious [[martyr]] '''Justin the Philosopher''' (also '''Justin Martyr''') was one of the earliest [[apologists ]] for the Christian [[faith]]. A [[convert]] to Christianity, he produced a number of works during the middle of the second century, amongst them two ''Apologies'' addressed to the Roman emperors, defending and explaining Christianity as the true philosophy. The power of his arguments was to earn him his [[martyr]]dom. His [[feast day]] is celebrated on [[June 1]].
