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.
