Publisher's Synopsis
The Stromata Or Miscellanies V6 is a book written by Clement of Alexandria, a Christian theologian who lived in the late 2nd century AD. This book is part of a larger work called the Stromata, which is a collection of essays and notes on various topics related to Christian theology and philosophy. In this particular volume, Clement discusses a wide range of subjects, including the nature of God, the role of the church, the importance of faith and good works, and the relationship between Christianity and other religions. He also delves into more specific topics such as the use of allegory in interpreting scripture, the symbolism of baptism and the Eucharist, and the proper way to conduct oneself in daily life as a Christian. Throughout the book, Clement draws on a variety of sources, including the Bible, Greek philosophy, and other early Christian writers, to support his arguments and provide insights into the nature of God and the world. His writing is often complex and dense, but also deeply insightful and thought-provoking. Overall, The Stromata Or Miscellanies V6 is a fascinating and important work of early Christian theology that offers valuable insights into the beliefs and practices of the early church. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the development of Christian thought.Nor will he, therefore, eagerly desire to be assimilated to what is beautiful, possessing, as he does, beauty by love. What more need of courage and of desire to him, who has obtained the affinity to the impassible God which arises from love, and by love has enrolled himself among the friends of God?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
