Excerpt from The Writings of Clement of Alexandria The Exhortation, the object of which is to win pagans to the Christian faith, contains a complete and withering exposure of the abominable Iicentiousness, the gross imposture and sordidness of paganism. With clearness and cogency of argu ment, great earnestness and eloquence, Clement sets forth in contrast the truth as taught in the inspired Scriptures, the true God, and especially the personal Christ, the living Word of God, the Saviour of men. It is an elaborate and masterly work, rich in felicitous classical allusion and quotation, breathing throughout the spirit of philosophy and of the gospel, and abounding in passages of power and beauty.

Excerpt from Clement of Alexandria The life and work of Clement of Alexandria could not, perhaps, be more favourably introduced to the notice of our readers than by a brief account of the historic city in which that life was lived and that work was done, and a general summary of the various influences that helped to mould and develop the character and genius of the man. The city was founded by the great Alexander whose name it bore. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Clement of Alexandria, famous Father of the Church, is known chiefly from his own works. He was born, perhaps at Athens, about 150 CE, son of non-Christian parents; he converted to Christianity probably in early manhood. He became a presbyter in the Church at Alexandria and there succeeded Pantaenus in the catechetical school; his students included Origen and Bishop Alexander. He may have left Alexandria in 202, was known at Antioch, was alive in 211, and was dead before 220. This volume contains Clement's Exhortation to the Greeks to give up gods for God and Christ; "Who Is the Man Who Is Saved?" (an exposition of Mark 10:17-31, concerning the rich man's salvation); and an exhortation To the Newly Baptized. Clement was an eclectic philosopher of a neo-Platonic kind who later found a new philosophy in Christianity, and studied not only the Bible but the beliefs of Christian heretics.

Excerpt from Some Account of the Writings and Opinions of Clement of Alexandria However deeply we may regret the loss of this work, on account of the information which we might have derived from it respecting the early history of Christianity, it appears, if the account given of it by Photius is correct, to have been in other respects of little value. He describes it as containing some truth amidst much that was impious and fabulous; that in it matter was represented as eternal, and forms as introduced according to certain fixed decrees that the Son was degraded into a creature that the doctrine of transmigration was asserted, and a succession of worlds before Adam; that an obscene and impious account of the origin of Eve was given, at variance with the Scriptural narrative that the angels were stated to have cohabited with women; that the Word was affirmed to have assumed flesh not in reality, but in appearance that the existence of two Words of the Father was asserted, of whom the inferior appeared to men, or, to speak more accurately, not even the inferior for the words of Clement are, The Son is called the Word, bearing the same name as the paternal Word but it is not he who was made flesh, nor yet the paternal Word; but a certain power of God, being as it were an emanation from his Word, which, being made mind, pervaded the hearts of men. These notions Clement endeavoured to confirm by quotations from Scripture. Photius, however, suggests a doubt whether Clement was really the author of these absurdities, from which he admits that Clement's other writings are free. He describes the work as consisting of interpretations of Genesis, Exodus, the Psalms, the Epistles of St. Paul, the Catholic Epistles, and Ecclesiasticus.
