The story of this volume is soon told. In July, 1895, Professor Max Müller contributed to the Deutsche Rundschau an essay on the lost treatise against Christianity by the philosopher Celsus, known to us through the reply of Origen of Alexandria. This essay, entitled "The ' True History ' 1 of Celsus", contained an exposition of the doctrine of the Logos and its place in Christian teaching, with reference also to its applications in our modern thought.
