In this featured article, New Testament scholar Michael J. Kruger writes:
"One of the benefits of studying the history of early Christianity is that we quickly realize that what we are facing in the modern day is far from new. Each challenge to the faith might seem new—sometimes leading to an unnecessary panic among some—but the early church faced similar (and often much worse) things before.
The second century was just such a time. Christianity was in its infancy, a bit like a newborn animal on the Serengeti plains, wobbly legs and all. And the world around them was by no means friendly. Attacks came hard and fast from all directions.
But Christians responded. They sharpened their arguments, they clarified their thinking, they engaged their critics. Thus, the second century came to be known as the 'golden age' of apologetics."
