Athenagoras of Athens
Two books. A Plea for the Christians (dedicated to Emperors Marcus Aurelius Anoninus and Lucius Aurelius Commodus); On the Resurrection of the Dead.
His writings are considered important early ecclesiastical works that affirm Orthodox teachings on the Holy Trinity, the divine inspiration of the Scriptures, and Christian morality. He was the first Christian writer to treat the concept of the Trinity in philosophical terms. The Orthodox Church in America refers to him as "Saint Athenagoras of Athens" and his feast day is July 24.
