Justin Martyr's Dialogue with Trypho, composed around 155 to 160 CE and presented here in the Alexander Roberts and James Donaldson translation published in the Ante-Nicene Fathers series in 1885, is a primary second century Christian text defending Christianity against Judaism in dialogue form. Its authority as a primary source is direct, being Justin's own argument in his own words, and the Ante-Nicene Fathers translation is a long standard reference edition for early Christian texts in English. It is a Christian apologetic work written from an explicitly Christian standpoint, not a neutral historical account of the Jewish-Christian relationship it stages, and its portrayal of Trypho's own positions should be read as Justin's representation of them rather than an independent Jewish source.
