Against Celsus Book 4

"Against Celsus Book 4" by "Origen of Alexandria" is a book that was written around 248 AD as a response to a pagan philosopher named Celsus. Celsus had written a critical piece on Christianity, denouncing many Christian doctrines as irrational and criticizing Christians themselves as uneducated, deluded, unpatriotic, and close-minded towards reason. Origen's work is a major apologetics work that counters Celsus' writing. It argues for the rationality of Christian beliefs and the education and intelligence of Christians. The book is preserved entirely in Greek, and it offers a unique perspective on early Christian apologetics.
