Justin and the demons

In chapters 54-58 we have Justin present his rather interesting take on spiritual warfare. For Justin similarities between paganism and Christianity come because demons have sought to cause confusion and launch what could best be described as a pre-emptive strike. Demons are also behind the persecution of the church, and also for raising heretics such as Marcion.

In between, Justin claims that demons have failed to replicate the cross, the structure of which God has placed in many areas of creation.
