Origen Against Celsus V8

By Origen

Book Overview

Origen Against Celsus V8 is a book that contains the writings of Origen, a prominent Christian theologian of the 3rd century, in response to the criticisms of Celsus, a Greek philosopher who wrote a book attacking Christianity. The book is the eighth volume in a series of works that Origen wrote in response to Celsus' arguments. In this volume, Origen addresses topics such as the nature of God, the divinity of Jesus, and the validity of the Christian scriptures. He refutes Celsus' claims and defends the Christian faith, using biblical references and philosophical arguments. The book is an important resource for scholars of early Christianity and provides insight into the debates and controversies surrounding the religion in its early years.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.
