About this video

Runtime: 19 mins

Andrew Hayes discusses Justin Martyr, born between 100 and 110 C.E. in Flavia Neapolis (modern Nablus, West Bank), a significant early Christian apologist. His birthplace was founded by Vespasian and situated within Greco-Roman culture, with Justin's identity marked by both Greek and Latin influences. He grew up amidst the cultural and religious tensions of Syria-Palestine. Justin's philosophical journey led him through various schools before converting to Christianity after encountering an old man who revealed Christ's teachings. He identified himself as a philosopher, believing Christianity to be the true philosophy. His works defended Christian beliefs and aimed to clarify the nature of Christ as the Logos, emphasizing a monotheistic framework that influenced later Christological debates.
