Abstract

In the first two pages of the so-called eighth book of the Stromateis, Clement outlines a method of inquiry suitable to the followers of the âreally true philosophy,â i.e. the Christians. He does so in response to the biblical command Seek and you will find, knock and it will open, ask and it will be given to you (Matt 7:7). A close reading of these pages shows that Clement thinks of Christian inquiry as a process in the course of which the meaning of difficult scriptural passages is revealed on the basis of Scripture itself. He also thinks of it as a process of teaching, accompanied by the examination of various (other than biblical) views in light of the âcommon notionsâ. How does this outline fit in with the remaining sections of the âeighth book,â consisting, for the most part, of purely philosophical material whose relevance to anything Christian is far from plain? Analysing the contents of the first âchapterâ and other (rare) occasions in the remaining sections where traces of Clementâs Christian interests are discernible, this paper argues that, when composing the text known as Stromateis viii, Clement approached his source-material from the perspective of a biblical exegete and a Christian teacher. Nevertheless, he did not subordinate the material to this perspective, leaving it open to further exploitation and limiting himself to occasional comments and glosses.
