Description

Origen's Contra Celsum is a foundational work of Christian apologetics that offers insight into the early Church and its relationship with ancient Greek culture. Written in response to the pagan Celsus' attack on Christianity, this text represents the culmination of the great apologetic movement of the second and third centuries AD. The English translation by Professor Chadwick is accompanied by a substantial introduction that provides context on Celsus' date, identity, and theological outlook, as well as an account of Origen's philosophical background and method. The notes offer clarification for the many obscure allusions present in the text. This work remains an important resource for historians, theologians, and those interested in the intersection of ancient Greek culture and early Christianity.
