Mathetes

Sobre el Autor

Mathetes is primarily known for his work titled "The Epistle of Mathetes to Diognetus," which is one of the earliest non-canonical Christian writings. This epistle is notable for its defense of Christianity against paganism and Judaism, exploring themes such as the nature of God, the role of Jesus Christ, and the moral conduct expected of Christians. The text is both a theological treatise and an apologetic work, aimed at explaining the Christian faith to a non-Christian audience. Mathetes portrays Christians as distinct from other groups, emphasizing their ethical standards and social practices that reflect their faith in a loving and just God.
