Digital Logos Edition
The writings of Justin Martyr are among the most important that have come down to us from the second century. Before his conversion to Christianity, Justin Martyr studied various philosophies, but was never satisfied with the results. Once he was introduced to Christianity, he was impressed with the extraordinary fearlessness which Christians displayed facing their execution, and with the stability and truth of the teachings of the Old Testament. After his conversion he adopted the dress of a philosopher and acted as an evangelist, proclaiming the gospel as the only way to salvation. From external sources, historians believe that Justin Martyr was beheaded in 165 A. D., under the reign of Marcus Aurelius.
The principal facts of Justin Martyr’s life are gathered from his own writings, only a few of which are still in extant. The Major Works of Justin Martyr in Greek (3 vols.) contains Justin Martyr’s first and second Apologies, the Epistle to Diognetus, and the Dialogue with Trypho, all in their original Greek, and complimented with extensive notes from Basil L. Gildersleeve and William Trollope.
The The Major Works of Justin Martyr in Greek (3 vols.) will make a great complement to our Early Church Fathers collections: the extensive linking in each volume allows them to scroll synchronously with their English translations.
What’s more, with the Logos Bible Software edition, you have instant access to the texts of the Greek New Testament along with a wealth of dictionaries, lexicons, and language reference tools. All Scripture passages are linked directly to the original language texts and English translations, and double-clicking any Greek word automatically opens a lexicon to help you decipher its meaning and understand its context. That makes the Logos edition of The Major Works of Justin Martyr in Greek (3 vols.) the most useful and accessible for students, pastors, and scholars.
This volume contains the Greek text of Justin Martyr's first and second Apologies, and the Epistle to Diognetus. Gildersleeve includes over 150 pages of notes and analysis, and the book offers three useful indexes: a Greek index, a subject index, and an index of Scripture references found in each text.
The notes are the chief features of this book, and these are models of conciseness, completeness, and scholarship. The points of syntax, especially, are worthy of careful consideration, as Dr. Gildersleeve brings into comparison with the Greek of Justin, the classic authors, the LXX, the New Testament, and Hellenistic writers generally, as well as the Hebrew idiom.
—The Presbyterian Quarterly
Basil L. Gildersleeve was a Presbyterian clergyman, professor, author, and translator. Gildersleeve fought in the American Civil war, and taught Greek and Hebrew at various universities including the University of Virginia and Johns Hopkins University, and served as the editor for the American Journal of Philology.
William Trollope provides valuable notes on the Greek text of Justin Martyr’s Dialogue with Trypho, along with an introduction to Justin Martyr in English. Outside of the New Testament, Dialogue with Trypho is considered one of the earliest attempts to systematically explain Christ as the Messiah prophesized in the Old Testament.
Rev. William Trollope was a professor of classics at Pembroke College, Cambridge, and later founded a school in Oatlands, Tasmania in 1852.
