A Plea for Christians – Saint Athenagoras (Full Audiobook)

Athenagoras’ A Plea for Christians is an apologetic work from the late second century, addressed to the Roman Emperors Marcus Aurelius and Commodus. This treatise is notable for its articulate defense of Christianity against the widespread misconceptions and accusations prevalent in the Roman Empire, such as atheism, cannibalism, and incest. Athenagoras, a philosopher by training, utilizes a reasoned and philosophical approach, appealing to the emperors’ sense of justice and rationality. His work is distinguished by its logical structure and rhetorical sophistication, seeking to demonstrate the moral and intellectual credibility of the Christian faith. Through this plea, Athenagoras not only refutes the charges against Christians but also presents a positive exposition of Christian monotheism, ethics, and worship, contributing significantly to the early Church’s efforts to gain legal recognition and social acceptance within the Roman world.
