Martyr, philosopher, and defender of Christianity. He was born into a paganfamily at Flavia Neopolis, or Nablus, in Palestine. At the age of thirty, he became a Christian and traveled to debate pagan philosophers, eventually going to Rome. There he was denounced and tried with Charita, Chariton, Euelpistus, Hierox, Liberianus, and Paeon. They were scourged and beheaded. Justin, also called “the Philosopher,” was the first layman to serve as an apologist. His works include Apologies for the ChristianReligion and Dialogue with the Jew Trypho. The records of Justin’s trial are extant.
