The Contra Celsum is the culmination of the great apologetic movement of the second and third centuries AD and a chief monument to Greek Orthodoxy. Professor Chadwick's English translation explores this text through detailed notes and discussion on both Celsus and Origen. This work will be of interest to historians, theologians and to hellenists.
The English translation not only focuses closely on the text, it also has illuminating notes and discussions on the philosophers.
