The Apology is a book written by Tertullian, a prominent early Christian writer and theologian, in the 2nd century AD. The book is a defense of Christianity against the accusations and persecutions it faced at the time. Tertullian argues that Christianity is not a threat to the Roman Empire, but rather a peaceful and moral religion that seeks to improve society. He also addresses common misconceptions about Christianity, such as the belief that Christians are atheists or engage in immoral practices. The Apology is a significant work in the history of Christianity, as it provides insight into the challenges faced by early Christians and their efforts to defend their faith.I am more afraid of them than of Anytus and his associates, who are dangerous, too, in their own way.
