The Dialogue with Trypho is an extant second-century Christian apologetic text by theologian Justin Martyr. Along with his First and Second Apologies, it is usually agreed to be dated in between AD 155 and 160. It is seen as documenting the attempts to show that Christianity is the new law for all men, and to prove from Scripture that Jesus is the Messiah. The Dialogue utilizes the literary device of an intellectual conversation between Justin and Trypho, a Jew. The concluding section propounds that the Christians are the "true" people of God.— Wikipedia
