The Apologies which remain from that period, those of Justin, Aristides, Liieratztre of the Second Century "^^j Athenagoras, Tatian, Theophilus, being addressed to heathen rulers or inquirers, are of an entirely different character from the Fourth Gospel. This Gospel was also an Apology, but in its framework and conception, its contents and its language, it is as far removed as well could be from the typical second century Apology. None of the later apologists attempts a life of Christ, or puts... into His mouth discourses not found in the canonical Gospels ; they fill their pages with explanations of Christian belief and Christian practice, and they defend Christians against the mis- conceptions and calumnies current among the heathen populace. One glance at them is enough to show that they could not have been written in the earliest period. Already the Christians are so numerous as to have attracted the attention of the State ; the Church has become fixed in its creed and in its practices.
