Quotes by Justin Martyr
Justin Martyr (100–165) — Apologet · Alte Kirche · Italien
Justin der Märtyrer (um 100–165) war ein frühchristlicher Philosoph und Apologet, der in Rom eine Schule gründete und dort unter Marcus Aurelius hingerichtet wurde. Er verstand das Christentum als vollendete Philosophie, formulierte die Lehre vom bereits vorchristlich wirkenden göttlichen Logos und überlieferte die älteste detaillierte Schilderung der frühchristlichen Gottesdienstpraxis. Heutigen Bibellesern erschließt er die Denk- und Lebenswelt der frühen Kirche, wobei seine im «Dialog mit dem Juden Tryphon» vertretene Enterbungstheologie in der Forschung als problematischer Baustein des christlichen Antijudaismus kritisiert wird.

Quotes by Justin Martyr
You can kill us, but you cannot harm us.
Justin Martyr
No one makes us afraid or leads us into captivity as we have set our faith on Jesus. For though we are beheaded, and crucified, and exposed to beasts and chains and fire and all other forms of torture, it is plain that we do not forsake the confession of our faith, but the more things of this kind which happen to us the more are there others who become believers and truly religious through the name of Jesus.
Justin Martyr
All things which the Savior did, He did in the first place in order that what was spoken concerning Him in the prophets might be fulfilled, that the blind should receive sight, and the deaf hear (Isaiah 35:5), and so on; but also to induce the belief that in the resurrection the flesh shall arise entire. For if on earth He healed the sicknesses of the flesh, and made the body whole, much more will He do this in the resurrection, so that the flesh shall rise perfect and entire.
Justin Martyr
We call this food the thanksgiving [Eucharist], and the only people allowed to receive it are those who believe our teaching and have received the washing for the remission of sins and for regeneration; and who live according to the commands of Christ.
