Origen Against Celsus V7

By Origen

Book Overview

Origen Against Celsus V7 is a book written by Origen, a prominent Christian theologian in the third century AD. The book is a response to the writings of Celsus, a pagan philosopher who was critical of Christianity. In this particular volume, Origen addresses Celsus' arguments against the resurrection of the dead and the idea of a physical resurrection. Origen argues that the resurrection is a fundamental belief of Christianity and that it is supported by both scripture and reason. He also addresses Celsus' criticisms of the Christian God and the concept of salvation. Throughout the book, Origen presents a detailed and nuanced defense of Christian beliefs, drawing on his extensive knowledge of scripture and philosophy. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the early Christian debates with pagan philosophers and provides insight into the development of Christian theology.But if he were dealing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.
