Publisher's Synopsis
Origen Against Celsus V7 is a book that contains a collection of writings by the early Christian theologian Origen, in which he responds to the criticisms of the pagan philosopher Celsus. Celsus had written a book called The True Doctrine, in which he attacked Christianity and its beliefs. Origen's response is a point-by-point refutation of Celsus' arguments, in which he defends the Christian faith and explains its teachings. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the nature of God, the divinity of Jesus, the resurrection of the dead, and the morality of Christianity. Origen's writing is characterized by its depth of thought and its careful reasoning, and it has been highly influential in the development of Christian theology. This edition of the book contains the seventh volume of Origen's Against Celsus, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity or the development of Christian doctrine.But if he were dealing honestly in his accusations, he ought to have given the exact terms of the prophecies, whether those in which the speaker is introduced as claiming to be God Almighty, or those in which the Son of God speaks, or finally those under the name of the Holy Spirit. For thus he might have endeavoured to overthrow these assertions, and have shown that there was no divine inspiration in those words which urged men to forsake their sins, which condemned the past and foretold the future.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
