Against Celsus Book 7
'Against Celsus Book 7' Summary
Against Celsus is a lengthy and complex work, but its central argument is that Christianity is a rational and ethical religion that is based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. Origen begins by refuting Celsus's charges of irrationality, arguing that the Christian faith is based on reason and evidence. He then goes on to defend the ethical teachings of Christianity, arguing that they are superior to those of paganism. Finally, Origen presents a positive case for Christianity, arguing that it offers hope and salvation to all who believe in it.Book Details
