The famous polemic of Celsus, the Greek Neoplatonist philosopher and staunch opponent of the early Christians, survives exclusively in quotations found in Origen's 'Contra Celsum'. This brilliant, classic translation of the earliest surviving substantial criticism of Christianity is being published separately for the first time.
