The book is a defense of the Christian faith against the accusations and persecution of the time. Athenagoras argues that Christians are not atheists, immoral, or unpatriotic, as they are often accused of being. Instead, he presents Christianity as a rational and moral religion that upholds the values of love, justice, and peace. The book also addresses specific objections to the Christian faith, such as the problem of evil and the nature of God. Athenagoras uses both reason and scripture to support his arguments, and he appeals to the wisdom of Greek philosophy as well. Overall, A Plea for the Christians is a powerful and eloquent defense of the Christian faith that remains relevant today.Three things are alleged against us: atheism, Thyestean feasts, OEdipode
