Aristo of Pella

Aristo of Pella

Aristo of Pella, Jordan (mid 2nd century) was a Jewish Christian writer, who like Hegesippus represents a school of thought more liberal than that of the Pharisaic and Essene Ebionites.

Aristo is cited by Eusebius ["Ecclesiastical History" iv.6.3] for a decree of Hadrian respecting the Jews, but he is best known as the writer of a "Dialogue" between an Alexandrian Jew named Papiscus, and Jason (who represents the author) on the witness of prophecy to Jesus Christ, which was approvingly defended by Origen against the reproaches of Celsus ("Contra Celsum", iv.52). His writings were perhaps used by Justin Martyr in his own "Dialogue with Trypho", and probably also by Tertullian and Cyprian; only quotations have survived of his writings. [Robert M. Grant, "Second-Century Christianity, A Collection of Fragments" (SPCK, 1946).]
