Christianity spread quickly in the second century, and was defined by horrific persecution and rapid theological development. Through letters, treatises, and martyr narratives, postapostolic Christians documented their experience, and this collection comprises the most important documents they produced. It includes the famous apologies of Justin Martyr, the dramatic tale of Polycarp’s martyrdom, and other signififcant texts such as Arnobius of Sicca’s Against the Pagans, and The Octavius of Marcus Minucius Felix.
