'''Justin Martyr''' was a Christian apologist and the original [[Martyr]].  He was killed for his faith in 165 AD at the behest of emperor [[Marcus Aurelius]].  He is mentioned in multiple sources of antiquity and a large body of his work survives to this day.
    
He was a philosopher who had experimented with [[Stoicism]], Pythagoreanism and Platonism. Justin was converted to [[Christ]] after being urged to turn to the Jewish scriptures. In his apologies to the emperor [[Antoninus Pius]] and the [[Roman Senate]], he argued that the truth found in [[Greek philosophy]] prefigured some of the teachings of Christ. He also wrote Dialogue with Trypho, a debate between Justin and a Jew arguing that Christianity was the fulfilment of [[Judaism]].
