Celsus penned the earliest known detailed attack upon Christianity.
While his identity is disputed and his anti-Christian treatise,
entitled the True Word, has been exclusively transmitted through
the hands of the great Christian scholar Origen, he remains an
intriguing figure. In this interdisciplinary volume, which brings
together ancient philosophers, specialists in Greek literature, and
historians of early Christianity and of ancient Judaism, Celsus is
situated within the cultural, philosophical, religious and
political world from which he emerged. While his work is ostensibly
an attack upon Christianity, it is also the defence of a world in
which Celsus passionately believed. It is the unique contribution
of this volume to give voice to the many dimensions of that world
in a way that will engage a variety of scholars interested in late
antiquity and the histories of Christianity, Judaism and Greek
thought.
