This work is a translation of Celsus' The True Teaching--the very first extensive criticism of Christianity, probably written in the late second century CE. In contrast to the rendition of this work by R. J. Hoffmann, Dr. Litwa offers a literal--though not wooden--translation of Celsus in an attempt to represent its original language and force. Celsus was eloquent, witty, and sharp-witted. There is, accordingly, no need to improve on his language or rhetoric, let alone to add or rearrange material. Litwa simply tries to represent The True Teaching—in all its biting wit and force. The ...

Eternal Salvation: The Hell-Proof Doctrine By Jeremiah Itson What if everything you’ve been taught about salvation… is incomplete?

Does this sound like a just punishment for this teenager’s sixteen years of life on earth? Have you wondered why the loving and merciful Jesus that you have read about in the Gospels would do such a thing? Does it bother you that the doctrine of Calvinism is accepted in the Christian Church, although it teaches ...
