addressed the emperor himself. While his Dialogue with Trypho, Justin endeavored to explain Christian practice with respect to Judaism. Justin’s work strove to intellectually explain the Christian belief system by exhibiting its merits to society. Tacitus charged Christianity for “’hatred of the human race.’” Remarkably, this charge proffers itself today by the world.
