[I know not,] unless he deem those to be good\r\ninstructors of women, and no triflers, who invite them to superstition\r\nand to unchaste spectacles, and those, moreover, to be\r\nteachers not devoid of sense who lead young men to the communion\r\nof all those disorderly acts which we know are often\r\ncommitted by them. We indeed call away these also, as far as\r\nwe can, from the dogmas of philosophy to our worship of God,\r\nby showing forth its excellence and purity. But as Celsus, by\r\nhis statements, has declared that we do not do so, but that we\r\ncall only the foolish, I would say to him, “If you had charged\r\nus with withdrawing from the study of philosophy those who\r\nwere already preoccupied with it, you would not have spoken\r\nthe truth, and yet your charge would have had an appearance\r\nof probability; but when you now say that we draw away our\r\nadherents from good teachers, show who are those other\r\nteachers save the teachers of philosophy, or those who have been\r\nappointed to give instruction in some useful branch of study.”<a id=\"r410\"></a><a class=\"c008 pginternal\" href=\"#f410\"><sup>[410]</sup></a></p>","headings":["The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 of 2","BOOK III.","Chapter LVII."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70693-paragraph-193"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"2751766229197cd77fecec5f565b0d2383f4fe32c9529309f8b149f351f5663a","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie","W.
