Wikipedia extract
Dialogue with Trypho is an extant second-century Christian apologetic work by the theologian Justin Martyr. Together with his First and Second Apologies, it is generally dated to c. 155–160 CE. The text is commonly understood as an attempt to demonstrate that Christianity constitutes the new law for all humanity and to prove from Scripture that Jesus is the Messiah. The work is cast as an intellectual dialogue between Justin and Trypho, a Jew displaced from Judaea following the Bar Kokhba Revolt, and is set in Ephesus, in western Asia Minor.
