Dialogue of Justin, Philosopher and Martyr with Trypho a Jew (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161428391)

""Dialogue of Justin, Philosopher and Martyr with Trypho, a Jew"" is a religious text written by Justin Martyr, a Christian philosopher and theologian who lived in the second century A.D. The book is a dialogue between Justin and Trypho, a Jewish scholar, in which they discuss various theological and philosophical issues related to Christianity and Judaism. The dialogue covers topics such as the nature of God, the role of the Old Testament in Christianity, the identity of Jesus Christ, and the relationship between Jews and Christians. Throughout the book, Justin argues for the superiority of Christianity over Judaism and attempts to persuade Trypho to convert to Christianity. The book is considered an important work of early Christian apologetics and provides valuable insights into the religious and intellectual debates 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.
