Project Gutenberg 2016-05-09 Public domain in the USA. 190 Cunningham, Francis 1785 1863 A Dissertation on the Books of Origen against Celsus Transcribed from the 1812 J. Smith edition by David Price "A Dissertation on the Books of Origen against Celsus" by Francis Cunningham is a scholarly work written in the early 19th century. This publication examines Origen's rebuttals to Celsus's critiques of Christianity, providing a detailed analysis of Origen's arguments and the evidence they present for the truth of Christian beliefs. The book is fundamentally an academic treatise aimed at illustrating the strength of Christian doctrine through historical and philosophical discourse. In this dissertation, Cunningham carefully outlines the theological arguments presented by Origen in response to the philosophical challenges posed by Celsus, an Epicurean who sought to undermine Christianity. The work is structured into chapters that delve into various topics, including the historical context of the Jewish scriptures, the life of Christ, and the characteristics and doctrines of early Christians. Cunningham highlights how Origen's replies serve as crucial evidence that not only validate the Christian faith but also emphasize the moral integrity and purpose of early Christian teachings. Ultimately, the dissertation illustrates the lasting significance of these ancient debates in understanding the foundations of Christianity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
