Abstract
The early church was marked by a vigorous debate between Jewish scholars and the followers of Jesus about the true identity of the Messiah. The most celebrated patristic example of this discussion is Justin Martyr’s Dialogue with Trypho the Jew from the second century. Three similar dialogues have survived intact which document this discussion from the third to the sixth centuries. Until recently, however, they have not been translated from their original Greek and Latin texts into any modern language. This article, based on the author’s published translations into English of these three dialogues, summarizes their contents and places them within the context of the Jewish-Christian debate that has continued down until today.
