TTD: This sounds like the best option for me. $35 dollars sounds good.
Edgar, does this edition also come with the 1st. and 2nd apologies, and
Dialogue with Trypho? The information that you gave, with the exception of
Goodspeed's volume, seems to indicate that Justins' writings 1st. 2nd.
Apology and Dialogue with Trypho don't come together in both Greek and
English. Am I incorrect about this? Are you at home now? How can I reach
you this weekend by Telephone if necessary?

What fathers, besides justin, are in the 2nd century? Is Marcion included
in the volume by Goodspeed?

Thanks

BTW, I will keep this bibliography on record and continue to look it over
this weekend.

Near Eastern specialist and Egyptologist. . .are too aware of the
isolationism often seen in traditional classics--or more precisely in
studies of Greek civilization--with its emphasis on the events of a
relatively short period, primarily in a particular exemplar of a single
group of cultures. Studies that appear to see fifth-century B.C.E Athens as
the defining experience of all civilization puzzle those whose interest lie
in other areas of the Mediterranean antiquity, and still more those
concerned with other regions of the world.
