¥A student of the Greek philosophers, Justin was converted as an adult by
talking to an elderly Christian. He spent the rest of his life as a Christian philosopher and
was finally martyred.
¥In his two Apologies to the Roman emperor and in 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
¥He uses our four Gospels and no others.
