Early Christian Theology - Part 2

This episode has focused on some of the cracks and fissures of first-century Christianity. What I want to do now is move from the New Testament to a more general consideration of early Christianity's expansion over the late 100s, the 200s, and the 300s CE. Origen Adomantius was well known for his ideas on allegorical interpretation of the Bible. He also wrote a famous apology or defense of Christianity against what had evidently been the thoroughgoing accusations of pagan critic Celsus.
