Celsus

2nd-century Greek philosopher · Academics

Celsus was a 2nd-century Greek philosopher and opponent of early Christianity. His literary work The True Word survives exclusively via quotations in Contra Celsum, a refutation written in 248 by Origen of Alexandria. The True Word is the earliest known comprehensive criticism of Christianity and Judaism.

Celsus is read about 203 times a day, in 39 languages.
