Introductory Note to the Writings of Justin Martyr
[1850] Eurip., Hipp., 608.
Chapter XL.—Christ’s advent foretold.
[1851] Ps. xix. 2, etc. [Note how J. excuses himself for the apparent irrelevancy of some of his citations (cap. xxxv., note), though quite in the manner of Plato himself. These Scriptures were of novel interest, and was stimulating his readers to study the Septuagint.]
Chapter XLI.—The crucifixion predicted.
[1853] Ps. xcvi. 1, etc. This last clause, which is not extant in our copies, either of the LXX, or of the Hebrew, Justin charged the Jews with erasing. See Dial. Tryph., c. 73. [Concerning the eighteen Jewish alterations, see Pearson on the Creed, art. iv. p. 335. Ed. London, 1824.]
Chapter XLII.—Prophecy using the past tense.
[1854] A chronological error, whether of the copyist or of Justin himself cannot be known.
Chapter XLIII.—Responsibility asserted.
[1855] Or, “but were made so.” The words are, ἀλλὰ τοῦτο γενόμενος and the meaning of Justin is sufficiently clear.
Chapter XLIV.—Not nullified by prophecy.
[1857] Isa. i. 16, etc.
[1858] Plato, Rep. x. [On this remarkable passage refer to Biog. Note above. See, also, brilliant note of the sophist De Maistre, Œuvres, ii. p. 105. Ed. Paris, 1853.]
[1859] [On the Orphica and Sibyllina, see Bull, Works, vol. vi. pp. 291–298.]
Chapter XLV.—Christ’s session in heaven foretold.
[1860] So, Thirlby, Otto, and Trollope seem all to understand the word κατέχειν; yet it seems worth considering whether Justin has not borrowed both the sense and the word from 2 Thess. ii. 6, 7.
[1861] Or, “before the morning star.”
Chapter XLVI.—The Word in the world before Christ.
[1863] μετὰ λόγου, “with reason,” or “the Word.” [This remarkable passage on the salvability and accountability of the heathen is noteworthy. See, on St.Matt. xxv. 32, Morsels of Criticism by the eccentric but thoughtful Ed. King, p. 341. London, 1788].
Chapter XLVII.—Desolation of Judæa foretold.
[1866] [Ad hominem, referring to the cruel decree of Hadrian, which the philosophic Antonines did not annul.]
Chapter XLVIII.—Christ’s work and death foretold.
Chapter XLIX.—His rejection by the Jews foretold.
