Justin Martyr (ca. 100-165) also known as Justin the Philosopher, was an early Christian apologist and philosopher. His most well-known text, passionately defends the morality of the Christian life, and provides various ethical and philosophical arguments to convince the Roman emperor, Antoninus, to abandon the persecution of the Church. Justin and six companions were condemned to death in 165.
[This] present study aims to deal with Justin as a witness to the second century text of the Greek Bible (Various Sources)
