Publisher's Synopsis
Origen Against Celsus V3 is a book written by Origen, a prominent early Christian theologian and philosopher. The book is a continuation of Origen's response to the criticisms of the pagan philosopher Celsus, who had written a scathing attack on Christianity in his book, The True Word. In this volume, Origen provides a detailed rebuttal to Celsus' arguments against the Christian faith. He addresses issues such as the divinity of Jesus, the resurrection, and the nature of God. Origen also defends the philosophical and moral foundations of Christianity, arguing that it is a rational and ethical religion. The book is an important work of early Christian apologetics and provides valuable insights into the intellectual climate of the early Church.But observe what he alleges as a proof of his statement: ""Christians at first were few in number, and held the same opinions; but when they grew to be a great multitude, they were divided and separated, each wishing to have his own individual party: [4] for this was their object from the beginning."" That Christians at first were few in number, in comparison with the multitudes who subsequently became Christian, is undoubted; and yet, all things considered, they were not so very few.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
