Celsus
(redirected from A true discourse)

    Also found in: Medical, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Celsus (lived 2nd century AD)

Platonist philosopher from Alexandria. He was one of the earliest opponents of Christianity.

He was the author of Alethes Logos/The True Account, in which he accused the Christians of absurd credulity, and attacked them for their party schisms, their exorcism of demons, and their disreputable characters. Most of the work is preserved in the Christian theologian Origen's work Contra Celsum.
