Against Celsus Book 1
'Against Celsus Book 1' Summary
In Against Celsus, Origen responds to Celsus's attack on Christianity by defending the rationality of Christian doctrine and by providing evidence for the truth of the Christian faith. Origen argues that Celsus's charges are based on misunderstanding and prejudice. He shows that Christian doctrine is not irrational, but is based on sound reason and evidence. He also shows that Jesus did not perform his miracles using black magic, but by the power of God. Origen's response to Celsus is a valuable resource for understanding the early history of Christianity and the challenges that it faced from pagan philosophers.Book Details
