Justin Martyr's Apologies are phenomenal. This book is just a quick glimpse at his works, but gives a real flavor of his passion and thinking. Profoundly relevant--especially for the church in America. He touches on issues such as engagement with cultural themes in explaining Christianity to unbelievers as well as persecution, imprisonment, torture and death for confessing faith in Christ. It's very convicting when considering how poorly and impatiently we "suffer" through our modern-day indignities. Very convicting.

Shepherd's Notes accommodate readers with the basic teachings and ideas of some of Christianity's greatest thinkers. This particular volume contains sound, general overviews of all of St Justin Martyr's writings and is, overall, a good primer for his theological and polemical works. It must be noted that Shepherd's Notes is evangelical in orientation but it is pretty fair to Catholic tradition. Excellent for intro-theology students.
