"The Writings of Origen, Vol. 2 (of 2)" by Origen is an exploration into the beliefs and practices of early Christians and a defense against criticisms during that time. Edited by Rev. Alexander Roberts and James Donaldson, this volume translates Origen's responses to the philosopher Celsus, who challenged Christian converts from Judaism. Origen argues that these converts are not abandoning their roots but fulfilling them through their new faith, using biblical examples and key figures to connect Judaism and Christianity. This creates a picture of early Christian thought.
