Who
Philosopher from Flavia Neapolis in Samaria who found in Christ the true philosophy, taught in Rome and was beheaded there about 165. The two Apologies address the emperor, and the Dialogue with Trypho argues with a learned Jew over the Scriptures, defending the virgin birth from Isaiah 7:14 and reading the Old Testament as a book about Christ. He is the first to set the obedient Virgin against the disobedient Eve, the parallel Irenaeus would develop.
