Excerpt from The Theology of Justin Martyr
A Word of explanation is due for the inclusion of the two chapters of Introduction. The desirability of defining one's point of view and terminology before beginning upon a discussion of the Theology of Justin Martyr is increasingly demonstrated as one glances through the literature which has been written upon him. The great inter-est in Justin is his transitional position. In his writings are to be found for the first time in Christian literature many conceptions and phrases which later theologians used to great effect. But granted that Justin's writings contain philosophic elements which the Synoptics do not, one must still ascertain the source or sources whence these bits have been drawn, before their true meaning or the significance of their use for the character of second century Christianity can be under stood. Such a search is impossible without a previous under standing as to the character of the thinking which preceeded and surrounded Justin in the Greek world, but unfortunately much of the criticism of Justin has been conducted without definition, and too often without understanding, of the development of Greek thought. The same may be said of Judaism. It is customary to contrast Judaistic with Hel lenistic Christianity, as though the terms Judaistic and Hellenistic were mutually exclusive, and had not for cen turies been united in a school which men still do not know whether better to call Judaistic Hellenism or Hellenistic Judaism. Here again, it was felt, only misunderstanding could have resulted from an attempt to discuss Justin's re.
