JUSTIN MARTYR

Justin Martyr (c. 100-165 AD). First Apology, Chapters 25, 26 and 29 (c. 150 AD); Second Apology (a.k.a. Trypho), Chapter 10 (c. 155 AD) (both written in Greek)

First Apology, Chapters 25, 26 and 29 (c. 150 AD):

http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/justinmartyr-firstapology.html (Early Christian Writings), JUSTIN MARTYR -- THE FIRST APOLOGY OF JUSTIN, CHAPTER XXV -- FALSE GODS ABANDONED BY CHRISTIANS:

And, secondly, because we(Christians)--who, out of every race of men, used to worship Bacchus the son of Semele, and Apollo the son of Latona (who in their loves with men did such things as it is shameful even to mention), andProserpine and Venus (who were maddened with love of Adonis, and whose mysteries also you celebrate)
CHAPTER XXVI -- MAGICIANS NOT TRUSTED BY CHRISTIANS:

All who take their opinions from these men, are, as we before said, called Christians; just as also those who do not agree with the philosophers in their doctrines, have yet in common with them the name of philosophers given to them. And whether they perpetrate those fabulous and shameful deeds--the upsetting of the lamp, and promiscuous intercourse, and eating human flesh--we know not; but we do know that they are neither persecuted nor put to death by you, at least on account of their opinions. But I have a treatise against all the heresies that have existed already composed, which, if you wish to read it, I will give you.
CHAPTER XXIX -- CONTINENCE OF CHRISTIANS:

And again [we fear to expose (abandon) children], lest some of them be not picked up, but die, and we become murderers. But whether we marry, it is only that we may bring up children; or whether we decline marriage, we live continently. And that you may understand that promiscuous intercourse is not one of our mysteries

Second Apology (a.k.a. Trypho), Chapter 10 (c. 155 AD):

http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/basis/justin-apology2.html, Medieval Sourcebook: Justin Martyr: Second Apology [Dialogue with Trypho], CHAP. X.--TRYPHO BLAMES THE CHRISTIANS FOR THIS ALONE--THE NON-OBSERVANCE OF THE LAW.:

And when they ceased, I again addressed them thus:-"Is there any other matter, my friends, in which we are blamed, than this, that we live not after the law, and are not circumcised in the flesh as your forefathers were, and do not observe sabbaths as you do? Are our lives and customs also slandered among you? And I ask this: have you also believed concerning us, that we eat men; and that after the feast, having extinguished the lights, we engage in promiscuous concubinage? Or

do you condemn us in this alone, that we adhere to such tenets, and believe in an opinion, untrue, as you think?" "This is what we are amazed at," said Trypho, "but those things about which the multitude speak are not worthy of belief; for they are most repugnant to human nature. Moreover, I am aware that your precepts in the so-called Gospel are so wonderful and so great, that I suspect no one can keep them; for I have carefully read them. I appreciate the Catholic Church not destroying this document so the multitude today can understand it.

http://www.cin.org/books/dunney2.html (Catholic Information Network), Church History: Justin Martyr and the Second Century Preeminent Apologist, Foes of Christ:

All this wild rumor about the followers of Christ being guilty of atheism, anarchism and disloyalty to the state proved to be sheer nonsense; it was on the same low level with the wicked accusations of incest and cannibalism, of magic and witchcraft that stupid Jewish alarmists shouted in the back-alleys of Jerusalem and Joppa. The real facts were these Christians served among the most loyal soldiers in the imperial armies, but they proved themselves still bettermilites Christi, and the Church could count numerous soldier martyrs.
Justin the Martyr:

And as if torture and death were not enough, vile rumors piled up against the Christians because their assemblies were private; the same old slanderous charges of incest and child-murder and kindred abominations were propagated, and what is worse, believed by the mob.

http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/bmcr/2006/2006-03-13.html, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2006.03.13: Jennifer Wright Knust, Abandoned to Lust: Sexual Slander and Ancient Christianity. Gender, Theory, and Religion Series. New York: Columbia University Press, 2006. Pp. ix, 279. ISBN 0231-13662-5. $45.00: Reviewed by David M. Reis, College of Santa Fe (dreis@csf.edu):

Knust believes that Justin's work helped define the boundaries of Christianity by claiming the Greco-Roman model of sexual moderation for Christianity and characterizing the non-Christian world as idolatrous and sexually deviant. At the same time, other authors employed this rhetorical strategy against fellow Christians in order to control their own community members and eliminate rivals. Tracing the contours of this intra-Christian debate is the subject of Knust's next chapter ("The False Teachers of the End Time"). Her rhetorical analysis of texts such as Jude, 2 Peter, and The Shepherd of Hermas reveals authors intent upon linking fidelity to God with sexual practices. Specifically, the authors imagine that their communities embody a sexual purity based upon their faith in Christ and the true God, while their opponents display a sexual licentiousness because of their corrupt teachings and worship. The authors thus seek to warn their readers of the appearance of false prophets and ungodly persons whose "heretical" beliefs are inseparable from their porneia and are indicators of the approaching eschaton. True Christians, these authors assert, must resist these deceivers and maintain their sexual purity.
http://forerunner.com/forerunner/X0223_Western_Civilization.html, Whatever Happened to Western Civilization?:

At different intervals in the first three centuries, under ten different Roman emperors, Christians were persecuted and put to death by the Roman government. At one point, Christians were accused of atheism (because they did not worship Caesar); cannibalism (because they "ate the Lord's Body"); and incest (because of "brotherly love"). The Christian apologist, Justin Martyr (100-167 A.D.), offered a defense in a letter to these charges written to the Roman Emperor Antonius Pius.
