Overview
Origen Against Celsus V2 is a book that contains a series of arguments and counter-arguments between Origen, an early Christian theologian, and Celsus, a Greek philosopher and critic of Christianity. The book is a continuation of the first volume and focuses on the topics of the resurrection and the divinity of Jesus Christ. Origen refutes Celsus' claims that the resurrection was a hoax and that Jesus was not divine, using biblical and philosophical arguments. The book also includes discussions on the nature of God, the role of faith in salvation, and the validity of Christian scriptures. The text provides insights into the early Christian Church's defense against its critics and the development of Christian theology.Celsus, however, accepting or granting that Jesus foreknew what would befall Him, might think to make light of the admission, as he did in the case of the miracles, when he alleged that they were wrought by means of sorcery; for he might say that many persons by means of divination, either by auspices, or auguries, or sacrifices, or nativities, have come to the knowledge of what was to happen.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
