Publisher's Synopsis
""Dialogue of Justin, Philosopher and Martyr with Trypho, a Jew"" is a religious text written by Saint Justin Martyr in the second century AD. The book is a conversation between Justin, a Christian philosopher, and Trypho, a Jewish scholar, discussing the differences between Judaism and Christianity. The two engage in a theological debate, discussing topics such as the nature of God, the role of the law in salvation, and the significance of Jesus Christ. Justin argues that Jesus is the fulfillment of Jewish prophecy and that Christianity is the true religion. Trypho challenges Justin's beliefs, but ultimately fails to convince him otherwise. The book is significant in that it provides insight into the early Christian-Jewish dialogue and the development of Christian theology. It also serves as a valuable historical document, shedding light on the religious beliefs and practices of the time.If you remain in that mode of philosophy, and live blamelessly, a hope of a better destiny were left to you; but when you have forsaken God, and reposed confidence in man, what safety still awaits you? If, then, you are willing to listen to me (for I have already considered you a friend), first be circumcised, then observe what ordinances have been enacted with respect to the Sabbath, and the feasts, and the new moons of God; and, in a word, do all things which have been written in the law: and then perhaps you shall obtain mercy from God.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
