4 INTRODUCTOR T NOTI . Christians, but his Apologies are the earlicst extant. Theyaro charactetiged by intenso Christian fervour, and they ovous an insight into the relations existing betwoen heathens and Christians in thoso days. His other principat Wriling, the Dialogue Willi Trypho, is the fidit elaborate exposition os thoreasons for regarding Christ as tho Messiah of tho old Testament, and the firat systematio attempt to exhibit thoialso position os the Jews in regard to Christiani . Many os Justin's Writings have perished. Those workswhich have come to us bearing his namo havo been dividedinto three classes.
Tho fidit class embraces those Whicli are unquestion lygenuine, Via. the two Apologies, and the Dialogue MithTrypho. Some critics have urged objections against Justin's authorship of the Dialogue; but the objections are regarded
treatises, there is but one opinion as to their earliness. Tholatest of them, in ali probabili , Was not Written later thantho third century. The third class consists of those that are unquestion lynot the wotas of Justin. Theso are: 1. An Exposition ofino True Faith; 2. Repties to tho Orthodox; 3. ChristianQuestions to Gentiles; 4. Gentile Questions to Christians;
5. Epistie to Zenas and Serenus; and 6. Α Refutation Oscertain Doctrines of Aristolle. There is no clue to tho dato of the two last.
