Justin MartyrDuring the second century of the early Church, there was a very important Greek apologist known as Justin Martyr. Justin's writings represented the first encounter of Christian revelation with Greek philosophy and a basis for the theology of history. Justin was born around 100 in Samaria. He studied various schools of philosophy, joining first with Stoicism, then Pythagoreanism, then Platonism. Justin became a Christian, his position was pagan philosophy, in particular Platonism. Justin worshiped the Father as the Supreme in the Universe, he worshiped the logos and/or the Son as divine but secondarily, and he worshiped the Holy Spirit thirdly. For Justin, the logos was above all Jesus Christ. He was “the whole Word.” Justin believed in the full divinity of the Son. Justin's philosophical presuppositions modified the biblical foundations to a large extent. He defined Jesus as a unique Power who is separate from the Father, but who is the source of all Being. In the beginning was the Word [Logos] and the Word [Logos] was with God. And the Word [Logos] was God. » (John 1:1) In this verse, interpreted by Justin, the term logos means “reason”. When it was written Jesus was the Logos of God, it meant that Jesus is Reason. of God, he is the embodiment of the power of God. For him, Justin's view of the Logos is essentially that the Logos is the goal of creation and revelation, as the agent and servant of the Father. Hagan 2The Father communes with the logos and the logos is. the organ of creation that God designed and made through him. The early Christians recognized that God is the source of all reason and knowledge. The logos then becomes the medium between the Transcendent God and the Creation of the finite universe... middle of paper ... concerning the world, time, creation, freedom, the affinity of the human soul with the "divine spirit and the recognition of good and evil". Jesus Christ is the incarnation of the entire divine logos, and the purpose of Christ's coming into the world was to teach men the truth and save them from the power of demons. Justin demonstrates through his works that Jesus is both the Messiah, stated by the Old Testament, and the pre-existing Logos, considering him as the incarnation of the Logos, and/or "second in line" to God. It illustrates the divine of creation and salvation, which is accomplished in Jesus Christ. The Logos is the eternal Word, eternal reason and creative reason. The ideas of the martyr are important to study and understand because his ideas had an impact on the Church as they show the origin of the beliefs and customs of Christianity and the understanding of Jesus Christ, the logos, second to God..
