The \u003ci\u003eDialogue\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eDialogue\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eDialogue\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition of the \u003ci\u003eDialogue with Trypho\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eDialogue\u003c\/i\u003e. Michael Slusser has edited the volume to bring it into conformity with the new Selections from Fathers of the Church series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eABOUT THE TRANSLATOR: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThomas P.
