Book
VIII.
Chapter I.
Having completed seven books, I now propose to
begin the eighth. And may God and His Only-begotten Son the Word
be with us, to enable us effectively to refute the falsehoods which
Celsus has published under the delusive title of A True
Discourse, and at the same time to unfold the truths of
Christianity with such fulness as our purpose requires. And as
Paul said, “We are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did
beseech you by us,”4841
so would we in the
same spirit and language earnestly desire to be ambassadors for Christ
to men, even as the Word of God beseeches them to the love of Himself,
seeking to win over to righteousness, truth, and the other virtues,
those who, until they receive the doctrines of Jesus Christ, live in
darkness about God and in ignorance of their Creator. Again,
then, I would say, may God bestow upon us His pure and true Word, even
“the Lord strong and mighty in battle”4842
against sin. We must now proceed to
state the next objection of Celsus, and afterwards to answer
it.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
