from Compendium of the Summa Theologica of St Thomas Aquinas: Pars Prima · host Saint Thomas Aquinas, Bernardus Bonjoannes, Wilfrid Lescher

"Against Celsus Book 1" by Origen of Alexandria is a profound exploration of early Christian thought, addressing the criticisms posed by the philosopher Celsus against the faith. Origen defends the tenets of Christianity with a blend of philosophical reasoning and scriptural interpretation, making a compelling case for the validity of Christian beliefs in the face of skepticism.
