CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA The Exhortation to the Greeks;the Rich Man's Salvation; and a Short Fragment Entitled to the Newly Baptized
. Translated by G. W. Butterworth A key figure in early Christianity and its reaction to Hellenic culture, Clement (born probably A.D. 150 in Athens) had a wide knowledge of Greek literature--as his frequent quotations of Homer, Hesiod, the playwrights, and Platonic and Stoic philosophers attest. His "Exhortation to the Greeks"--in which he calls on the Greeks to give up their gods and turn to Christ--shows familiarity with the mystery cults. Along with the "Exhortation" this volume presents "The Rich Man's Salvation," a homily that offers a glimpse of Clement's public teaching. 1919/7th printing/432pp. /index ORDER REF: PUB30 - 99103 6 (Bi-lingual Text - Loeb Classical Library volume 92 hardback in fine D/J.
