ARISTO , of See also:

Pella, a Jewish See also:Christian writer of the See also:middle of the 2nd See also:century, who like See also:Hegesippus (q.v.) represents a school of thought more liberal than that of the Pharisaic and Essene See also:Ebionites to which the decline of Jewish See also:Christianity mainly led. Aristo is cited by See also:Eusebius (Hist. Eccl. iv. 6.3) for a See also:decree of See also:Hadrian respecting the See also:Jews, but he is best known as the writer of a See also:Dialogue (between Papiscus, an Alexandrian See also:Jew, and See also:Jason, who represents the author) on the See also:witness of prophecy to Jesus See also:Christ, which was approvingly defended by See also:Origen against the reproaches of See also:Celsus. The little See also:book was perhaps used by See also:Justin See also:Martyr in his own Dialogue with Trypho, and probably also by See also:Tertullian and See also:Cyprian, but it has not been preserved. The literature is cited in G. See also:Kruger's See also:Early Christian Literature, pp. 104 f.
