It is the term by which the rite is referred to by the Didache ( late 1st or early 2nd century ), Ignatius of Antioch ( who died between 98 and 117 ) and Justin Martyr ( writing between 147 and 167 ).

Since the middle of the 2nd century writings of Justin Martyr use language very similar to that found in the Gospel of John, the Gospel is considered to have been in existence at least at that time.

Justin Martyr, in the early 2nd century, mentions the " memoirs of the apostles ", which Christians called " gospels " and which were regarded as on par with the Old Testament, which was written in narrative form where " in the biblical story God is the protagonist, Satan ( or evil people / powers ) are the antagonists, and God ’ s people are the agonists ".

Given earlier debates by Christian authors about the existence of Jesus, e. g. in Justin Martyr's 2nd century Dialogue with Trypho, it would have been expected that the passage from Josephus would have been used as a component of the arguments.

Justin Martyr, also known as just Saint Justin ( AD 100 – ca. 165 ), was an early Christian apologist, and is regarded as the foremost interpreter of the theory of the Logos in the 2nd century.

Justin Martyr, in the mid 2nd century, mentions " memoirs of the apostles " as being read on Sunday alongside the " writings of the prophets ".

The fact that Saint Justin taught Christian doctrine in Rome during the pontificate of St Pius I and that the heretics Valentinus, Cerdon, and Marcion visited Rome at the same time, is an argument for the primacy of the Roman See during the 2nd century.

Irenaeus, wrote of 2nd century believers with the gift of prophecy, while Justin Martyr argued in his Dialogue with Trypho that prophets were not found among the Jews in his time, but that the church had prophets.

Justin Martyr, writing in the 2nd century, rejected the need to keep literal seventh-day Sabbath, arguing instead that " the new law requires you to keep the sabbath constantly.

Many early Christian writers from the 2nd century, such as pseudo-Barnabas, Irenaeus, Justin Martyr and Hippolytus of Rome followed rabbinic Judaism ( the Mishna ) in interpreting Sabbath not as a literal day of rest, but as a thousand-year reign of Jesus Christ, which would follow six millennia of world history.

A distinctive element in the Christian ritual was noted by Justin in the 2nd century, now referred to as the " kiss of peace ," and once part of the rite in the primitive Mass.

It is only one of the three conditions ( baptism, right faith and right living ) for admission to receiving Holy Communion that the Catholic Church has always applied and that were already mentioned in the early 2nd century by Saint Justin Martyr: " And this food is called among us the Eucharist, of which no one is allowed to partake but the man who believes that the things which we teach are true, and who has been washed with the washing that is for the remission of sins, and unto regeneration, and who is so living as Christ has enjoined " ( First Apology, Chapter LXVI ).

In the 2nd century, Justin Martyr stated that Jesus had been born in a cave outside the town, while the Protoevangelium of James described a legendary birth in a cave nearby.

Justin Martyr, an earlier 2nd century Church Father, agreed that the similarities existed, claiming that Mithraism had copied the Eucharist.

Justin Martyr in the 2nd century was one of the first Christian writers to clearly describe himself as continuing in the “ Jewish ” belief of a temporary messianic kingdom prior to the eternal state.

" Of Plato's image in Timaeus, Justin Martyr, the Christian apologist writing in the 2nd century, found a prefiguration of the Holy Cross, and an early testimony may be the phrase in Didache, " sign of extension in heaven " ( sēmeion ekpetaseōsen ouranō ).
