In Against Celsus, a significant work of Christian apologetics, Origen of Alexandria engages directly with the criticisms of the pagan philosopher Celsus, who famously attacked Christianity in his treatise The True Word. Written around 248 AD and preserved in its entirety in Greek, Origen meticulously counters Celsuss claims, which range from denouncing Christian doctrines as irrational to accusing Jesus of using black magic for his miracles. Celsus also criticized Christians as uneducated and warned that their faith would undermine traditional values. This text is not just a defense of Christianity but a profound exploration of faith in the face of skepticism. Summary by Wikipedia.
