Publisher's Synopsis
Origen Against Celsus V8 is a book that contains the writings of Origen, a Christian scholar who lived in the third century. The book focuses on Origen's response to the arguments put forward by Celsus, a Greek philosopher who was critical of Christianity. Origen's writings in this book are a defense of the Christian faith and an attempt to refute the criticisms made by Celsus. The book covers a range of topics, including the nature of God, the divinity of Jesus Christ, and the validity of the Christian scriptures. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the early history of Christianity and the debates that shaped the development of the faith.Whilst there are thus many gods and lords, whereof some are such in reality, and others are such only in name, we strive to rise not only above those whom the nations of the earth worship as gods, but also beyond those spoken of as gods in Scripture, of whom they are wholly ignorant who are strangers to the covenants of God given by Moses and by our Saviour Jesus, and who have no part in the promises which He has made to us through them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
