Origen Against Celsus V5

By Origen

Book Overview

Origen Against Celsus V5 is a book that features the writings of Origen, a prominent Christian theologian who lived in the third century AD. The book focuses on Origen's arguments against the pagan philosopher Celsus. Celsus was a critic of Christianity and his writings were influential in shaping the opinions of many people in the ancient world. In this book, Origen presents a detailed refutation of Celsus' arguments and defends the Christian faith. The book is divided into chapters, each of which addresses a different aspect of Celsus' criticisms. Origen's arguments are based on his extensive knowledge of the Bible and his deep understanding of Christian theology. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the debates that shaped the early church.As we allege, however, that he has fallen into confusion in consequence of false notions which he has imbibed, come and let us point them out to the best of our ability, and show that although Celsus considers it to be a Jewish custom to bow down to the heaven and the angels in it, such a practice is not at all Jewish, but is in violation of Judaism, as it also is to do obeisance to sun, moon, and stars, as well as images.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
