The True Word
The True Word (or Discourse, Account, or Doctrine; Ancient Greek: Λόγος Ἀληθής, Logos Alēthēs) is a now-fragmentary treatise in which the ancient Greek philosopher Celsus (fl. AD 175–177) addressed many principal points of early Christianity and argued against their validity. In The True Word, Celsus attacked Christianity in three ways: by attacking its philosophical claims, by marking it as a phenomenon associated with the uneducated and lower class, and by cautioning his audience that it was a danger to the Roman Empire.
