He was born, perhaps at Athens, around 150 CE to non-Christian parents, and he converted to Christianity probably in early adulthood. He became a presbyter in the Church at Alexandria and succeeded Pantaenus in the catechetical school; among his students were Origen and Bishop Alexander. He may have left Alexandria in 202, was known at Antioch, was alive in 211, and was deceased before 220.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume contains Clement's \u003cem\u003eExhortation to the Greeks\u003c\/em\u003e, urging the abandonment of traditional gods in favour of God and Christ. It also includes \"Who Is the Man Who Is Saved?\"—an exposition of Mark 10:17–31 concerning the rich man's salvation—and an exhortation to the newly baptised. Clement was an eclectic philosopher with neo-Platonic influences who eventually found a new philosophy in Christianity. He studied not only the Bible but also the beliefs of Christian heretics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47485999841516,"sku":"9780674991033","price":94.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/a6569e81768b677a975f472dedbc27b5.jpg?v=1775784528"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/clement-of-alexandria.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
