Introduction to Athenagoras

A philosopher stands before emperors and refuses to let Christianity be judged by rumor—Athenagoras enters the stage of history with clarity, restraint, and intellectual force, answering charges of atheism, immorality, and cannibalism not with outrage, but with reason, showing that the Christian faith is not irrational but the most coherent and morally serious worldview in the empire, and in doing so, he marks a turning point where Christianity no longer only defends itself internally but speaks directly to power, demanding justice and careful hearing in a world that had already made up its mind.Readings: Athenagoras — A Plea for the Christians (Introduction)Explore the Project:Through the Church Fathers – https://www.throughthechurchfathers.comPatreon – https://www.patreon.com/cmichaelpattonCredo Courses – https://www.credocourses.comCredo Ministries – https://www.credoministries.org
