Justin Martyr (c. AD 100 – c. AD 165), also known as Saint Justin, was an early Christian from Nablus on the West Bank, who was martyred with some of his students, and is venerated as a saint by the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Oriental Orthodox Churches, Lutheran Churches, and in Anglicanism.[1] He is known for his writings defending Christianity, Most of his writings were lost but three main ones are left. His first apology, a writing in defense and explanation of Christianity, wrote to convince the Roman emperor Antoninus Pius to stop persecuting the church.
