	Clement of Alexandria
		Clement was an early Greek theologian and head of the catechetical school of Alexandria.
		Clement has seemed to some to exaggerate the moral worth of religious knowledge; it must however be remembered that he praises not mere sterile knowledge, but knowledge which turns to love.
		Clement, however, clearly admits in Christ a real body, but he thought this body exempt from the common needs of life, as eating and drinking, and the soul of Christ exempt from the movement of the passions, of joy, and of sadness.

	Clement of Alexandria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Clement of Alexandria (Titus Flavius Clemens), was the first member of the Church of Alexandria to be more than a name, and one of its most distinguished teachers.
		The significance of Clement in the history of the development of doctrine is, according to Adolf Harnack, that he knew how to replace the apologetic method by the constructive or systematic, to turn the simple church tradition into a "scientific" dogmatic theology.

	[No title]
		Clement of Alexandria, one of the most revered deans of the Catechetical School for his philosophical theology and intellectual acumen, was one of the foremost figures who succeeded in uniting the missions of religion and science.
		Clement used this side of philosophy to show that all human beings are rational and have within them the "spark of reason" or the "divine spark".[23] Secondly, Stoicism was used to show to pagan converts that Christian morals were actually quite similar to the ethics they had somewhat embraced in their Stoic beliefs.
		For Clement, there is a close kinship between the human mind and the universal Logos, the Son of God.[30] No matter how distorted their beliefs were, there was a divine element dwelling in them which allowed them to attain even the faintest reflection of the eternal truth.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Clement of Alexandria
		Alexandria was, in addition, one of the chief seats of that peculiar mixed pagan and Christian speculation known as Gnosticism.
		Benedict XIV maintained this decision of his predecessor on the grounds that Clement's life was little known that he had never obtained public cultus in the Church, and that some of his doctrines were, if not erroneous, at least suspect.
		The special field which Clement cultivated led him to insist on the difference between the faith of the ordinary Christian and the science of the perfect, and his teaching on this point is most characteristic of him.

	Clement of Alexandria: Theosis and the Work of Christ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Clement himself was an instructor in the faith, head of the ‘Catechetical School’ in Alexandria that is the focus of mystery and intrigue to contemporary Church historians, and perhaps it was this role that lent Clement to such an affinity with the image of the pedagogue.
		Clement was, in a pronounced way, what many moderns would call a ‘philosopher’ even as he was a theologian, and his readily apparent love for God was commingled and conjoined to his love of truth.
		Clement has obviously made use of Platonism in its formulation, without hesitation or apology (thus a corrective may be seen for those who insist that ‘philosophy’ and ‘theology’ are at war, in conflict); yet he has not done so without introducing changes to the system he takes to hand.

		Clement of Alexandria was a convert to the Christian faith, through the direction of St. Pantaenus.
		It was at Alexandria that Clement was first introduced to the Essene concept of the "Angel-Messiah" and it would be natural for him to apply such ideas to Jesus; especially in light that many considered him "the" Messiah.
		Clement is recorded in his writings his belief that the Holy Spirit, in directing the creation of Scripture, inspired the deeper meanings, to further inspire Christians to continue to search and learn from its many depths.

	20th WCP: Pythagorean Symbolism and the Philosophic Paideia in the Stromateis of Clement of Alexandria
		Clement of Alexandria as a 'Neopythagorean Philosopher' is relatively badly served, however.
		Clement believes that the student should be directed and educated according to a certain model (partially found, as I shall argue, in the Pythagorean tradition).
		Basic elements of Clement's theology reveal unmistakably that the influence of so-called Neopythagorean tradition penetrates throughout the whole structure of Clement's thought and certain elements of the peculiarly Pythagorean teaching are visible both in his practical and theoretical philosophy.

	Clement's Order of the Gospels
		12 Helmut Merkel surmised that the ensuing discussion of Mark was a secondary insertion by Clement; thus, the original comparison in Clement's tradition was between John and the gospels with the genealogies.
		Clement furthered the apology for Mark by explaining that John was aware of what was disclosed in the earlier gospels, i.e., although Mark's gospel had a limited publication, John nonetheless knew about it.
		For example, Theodor Zahn supposed that Clement derived his statement not from tradition but from the observation of Irenaeus that Mark was written after the death of Peter and an inference that Luke should predate the close of Acts.

	Origen of Alexandria
		Alexandria was host to Philo, one of the greatest Jewish philosophers and a contemporary of Christ, who taught that the philosophy of Pythagoras and Plato could be found in the Hebrew Scriptures, which he interpreted allegorically.
		Clement's catechetical esoteric tradition, so he declared, was alone authentic and represented the tradition of the "church." Thus the Catechetical School and the ChristianGnostic Schools both claimed authenticity.
		Clement probably taught the doctrine of the preexistence of souls, as his pupil Origen later did, but he seems to have rejected the doctrine of reincarnation taught by the Christian- Gnostics and most other religions of the ancient world.
