'''Athenagoras of Athens''' was a Christian apologist who lived during the second half of the second century. He was an Athenian. a philosopher, and a convert to Christianity. He noted as one of the ablest Christian Apologist [[apologist]] of the second century.
Athenagoras was born about the year 133 and died in 190. Little is known of his life. The quality of his writings show that he was well educated, familiar with Platonism, and may have been well known and influential. Only two of his works, his ''Apology'' or ''Embassy for the Christians'' and ''Treatise on the Resurrection'', have come down to us. The absence of any mentioned of his writings among other Christian writers may have been due to his anonymous writings having been thought to be the work of other writers.
