The '''''Dialogue with Trypho,''''', along with the [[First Apology of Justin Martyr|First]] and [[Second Apology of Justin Martyr|Second]] Apologies, is a second-century [[Christianity|Christian]] [[Christian apologetics|apologetic]] text, usually agreed to be dated in between AD 155-160. It is seen as documenting the attempts by theologian [[Justin Martyr]] to show that Christianity is the new law for all men, and to prove from Scripture that Jesus is [[Messiah in Judaism|the Messiah]].<ref name=Ron48>''Reading the Old Testament with the Ancient Church: Exploring the Formation of Early Christian Thought''; by Ronald E.

The ''Dialogue'' utilizes the literary device of an intellectual conversation between Justin and Trypho, a Jew. The concluding section propounds that the Christians are the true people of [[God]].
