nA student of the Greek philosophers, Justin was converted to
Christianity as an adult by talking to an elderly
believer. He spent the rest of his life as a
traveling Christian philosopher and died as a
martyr.
nIn his two Apologies to the Roman emperor and his Dialogue with
the Jewish scholar Trypho, Justin speaks of
the ÒGospelsÓ and calls them Òmemoirs of the
apostles and those who followed
them.Ó
nHe uses our four Gospels and no others.
