Selections from the Fathers of the Church Outside the New
Testament, our earliest complete witness to Christian apologetic
against the Jews remains the Dialogue with Trypho, written by
Justin Martyr (d. ca. 165), a convert to Christianity from
traditional Greek religion. The Dialogue purports to be a two-day
dialogue that took place in Asia Minor between Justin and Trypho, a
Hellenized Jew. Justin argues extensively on the basis of lengthy
Old Testament quotations that Christ is the Messiah and God
incarnate, and that the Christian community is the new Israel. In
the beginning of the work Justin recounts how he converted to
Christianity. The Dialogue remains of great, and varying, interest.
It has important information on the development of Jewish-Christian
relations, on the development of the text of the Old Testament, and
on the existence and character of the early Jewish Christian
community: Justin's story of how he became a Christian is one of
our earliest conversion accounts. The Dialogue is an ideal textbook
for classes investigating the development of religion in Late
Antiquity since it touches on many aspects of religion in the Roman
Empire. This edition of the Dialogue with Trypho is a revision of
Thomas B. Falls's translation, which appeared in Fathers of the
Church, vol. 6. Thomas P. Halton has emended the translation in
light of the 1997 critical edition by Miroslav Marcovich, and he
has provided extensive annotation to recent scholarship on the
Dialogue. Michael Slusser has edited the volume to bring it into
conformity with the new Selections from the Fathers of the Church
series.
