Against Celsus Book 5
Against Celsus, written by Origen of Alexandria around 248 AD, is a significant apologetic work defending Christianity against the critiques of the pagan philosopher Celsus. In this text, Origen systematically addresses Celsus's accusations, which include claims that Christian doctrines are irrational and that Jesus's miracles were performed through black magic. This work is notable for its early defense of Christian beliefs and its role in shaping theological discourse in response to pagan criticism.
