Stromata
Book • 2019
Clement of Alexandria's "Stromata" (Miscellanies) is a collection of writings exploring various philosophical and theological topics from a Christian perspective.
It represents a significant attempt to synthesize Christian faith with elements of Greek philosophy.
Clement argues that philosophy, prior to the arrival of Christ, served as a preparation for the Gospel.
He believed that truth, wherever found, ultimately points to God. The "Stromata" is a key text for understanding the early church's engagement with classical thought and its efforts to integrate it into a Christian worldview.
