Summary: | Justin is an early Christian figure who is very much of his own time, yet his ideas and intellectual legacy transcend temporal confines. He does not represent just a snapshot of the Christianity of Rome in the mid-second century, but was a courageous figure who challenged the prevailing philosophical systems of his own day with a muscular and robust presentation of Christian thought. Rather Justin, leader of a 'school-church' in Rome, is a key figure in the early development of Christianity. Some of the ideas he offered remain central to Christian thinking. |
