Delightful for its insights and for being so very out of date. The first general Christian treatise on the moral life, designed for those who live in a rich, cosmopolitan Mediterranean city and thus rather relevant to contemporary America.

Вот так примерно выглядит добротный синтез идей античной философии и христианства. Две традиции соединяются. С одной стороны Сократ, Платон, с другой Исаия и апостол Павел. Что же поучится в итоге? Получится западная европейская культура, коей Климент один из самых ранних предвестников.

If you cannot get a hold of this collection, read Ecclesiasticus, he heavily depends on that book of the Bible... but certainly this is more than a commentary on that book.

Neither Clement's birthdate or birthplace is known with any degree of certainty. It is conjectured that he was born in around 150. According to Epiphanius Scholasticus, he was born in Athens, but there is also a tradition of an Alexandrian birth.

“Our superintendence in instruction and discipline is the office of the Word, from whom we learn frugality and humility, and all that pertains to love of truth, love of humanity, and love of excellence. And so, in a word, being assimilated to God by participation in moral excellence, we must not retrograde into carelessness and sloth. But labor, and faint not.”
