As we catch a glimpse of first and early second century writings and memoirs of devout Christian writers, we should not leave out Polycarp.

In this series so far we’ve briefly visited the 1st and 2nd century church, but now let's look at elegant Latin memoirs of a Christian lawyer, Marcus Felix.

Today we'll look at Justin, whose writings are considered, outside of the New Testament, some of the most valuable early Christian writings. 

Next we’ll look at Ignatius, also called Theophorus: a bold and fearless martyr and the second bishop of Antioch.

Clement of Rome (30-97 AD) echoes and even quotes thoughts from the book of Hebrews in his letter to the Corinthians, proving the Hebrews epistle is not of recent origin.

Eusebius enthusiastically dedicated his life and energy to documenting the first 300 years of Church history.

Over the next several sessions, let's look at some of the champions of the faith and martyrs.
