Abstract:
Abstract This article addresses the topic of parables in the Stromateis of Clement of Alexandria. The broad thesis is that New Testament scholarship can help clarify early Christian interpretation of the New Testament. Clement of Alexandria has a very precise definition of the genre of parable. This definition is compared with various literary definitions found in the work of the grammarian Trypho of Alexandria and with one modern definition. Both of these comparisons bring out the precision, clarity, and usefulness of Clement’s definition for understanding the function of parables. The discussion then turns to the grounding of Clement’s definition in the saving mission of the Son. Since Clement closely links parables with prophecy and redemptive suffering, John Meier’s exposition of the Parable of the Wicked Tenants is introduced to show how parables can concretely express the redemptive suffering of the Son. Meier also demonstrates how the disciples were themselves involved in writing and completing this parable, so the article closes with an analysis of one of Clement’s interpretations of a parable, his own contribution to the tradition of parabolic speech.

Abstract:
AbstractDieser Beitrag untersucht das originäre Denken Klemens von Alexandriens (ca. 150 - ca. 215), eines frühen Interpreten der gesamten Bibel und Wegbereiter der philosophischen Interpretation des Evangeliums. Er behandelt zunächst Klemens Leben, Werk und Kontext in Alexandria und betrachtet anschließend seine Antworten auf die folgenden Fragen: (1) Was ist der Sinn des menschlichen Lebens? (2) Wer ist Gott und wie kann er erkannt werden? (3) Was ist Gottes Gesamtplan für die Erlösung des Menschen? (4) Wie soll der Christ zur Vollkommenheit und ewigen Betrachtung Gottes vorankommen? Klemens war ein optimistischer und aufgeschlossener Wahrheitssuchender in einer Zeit, in der die christliche Religion gerade erst Gestalt annahm. Er war der Ansicht, dass die Erkenntnis Gottes und die Liebe zu ihm der Grund des Seins des menschlichen Lebens sei und dass Gottes Heilsplan ein komplexes System der Erziehung und Vollkommenheit beinhalte. Dieser schließe auch Christus, das göttlichen Wort, den ultimativen Lehrer, ein. Seine biblische Exegese und Theologie hinterließen ein wichtiges Vermächtnis bei späteren Theologen, insbesondere im griechischsprachigen Osten.

Abstract:
Abstract The aim of this article is to revisit Clement of Alexandria’s Paedagogus 2.5.45-8 discussing whether Clement holds a moderate position οf laughter or, like most early Christians, tends to an “antigelastic” position. Some scholars, such as Stephen Halliwell and Laura Rizzerio, have concluded that Clement holds an intermediate position between an optimistic approach to laughter and its condemnation. However, in this essay we argue that while Clement’s position is not a straightforward antigelastic one, his apparent acceptance of laughter is so narrow that his moderate view ends up being compromised. Ultimately, he is strongly inclined to condemn laughter and to prescribe an ascetic life devoid of laughter.

Abstract:
One of the most important exponents of the School of Alexandria, Clement of Alexandria (ca. 150. - ca. 215.) is the author of a famous trilogy, consisting of Protrepticus, Paedagogus, and Stromata, which correspond to the three ways of acting of the Logos, namely to convert the pagans to the true faith, to cure the soul from passions, and to uplift the soul to the methodic and intellectual life of spiritual perfection. Logos thus acts through exhortation, training, and teaching. Clement considers himself to be the guardian of the Apostolic tradition and takes the task of conserving this tradition, which consists of cosmological and theological truths. With that goal in mind, the Alexandrian talks about the relation between pagan philosophy and Christianity, allegorical interpretation of the Scripture, the need of revealing and concealing the knowledge, which, in order to be correctly understood, has to be interpreted in accordance with the tradition. The intention of this short article is to point out these concepts and their connections in the way Clement sees them.

Abstract:
The article analyses Clement of Alexandria’s doctrine of the atonement, with special reference to the question whether it expresses a penal substitutionary understanding. Following mention of the problems associated with the task, and a survey of modern scholarship on the subject, the article identifies and comments on the relevant passages from Clement’s extant works, and concludes that, while Clement’s main theological interests lie elsewhere, there is clear evidence in his works for a penal substitutionary understanding of the atoning work of Christ on the cross. This evidence strengthens the view that this particular understanding of the cross was widely held in the Church during the postapostolic period.

Abstract:
Clementine scholarship acknowledges Clement's doctrine of the Incarnation and generally maintains that for Clement the divine Logos assumed human flesh. However, because of Clement's complex logology and three passages suggesting a docetic interpretation of Christ's flesh, scholars tend to move away from addressing the Incarnation and treat either the metaphysics of the multiple logoi theory or the question of Clement's Docetism, or both. Because of this diversion in research, there remains a gap in the literature around Clement's teachings about the Incarnation. This thesis begins to fill the gap by explaining Clement's view of the Incarnation, which he connects to the emergent ‘exchange' doctrine, envisaged as a divine mission. It situates Clement as an heir of the apostolic tradition while he engages with Greek philosophy and Gnostic belief. The research delineates Clement's gnostic tradition, which he considered faithful to the Old Testament and to the teachings of the apostles. The investigation collates Clement's usage of John 1:14 and the term ginomai linked with Logos, anthropos, and sarx. It examines Clement's discussion in Stromateis VII.2, where he claims the Logos assumed flesh susceptible to suffering, emotions, and physical sensibilities. In Clement's teachings, the Logos became both anthropos and sarx so that anthropos might become theos. This thesis outlines Clement's usage of the terms parousia and epiphaneia (appearing), showing they are consequential to the Incarnation. Clement presents the Logos as Saviour, who conquers malevolent powers and death to release humankind from corruption through his sufferings from birth to the cross. Clement also presents the Logos as a Teacher, who during his parousia, interprets precisely the Old Testament, and in his appearing, discloses true gnosis, which guides anthropos to godliness. The evidence demonstrates that Clement bases his path for assimilation to God upon the Incarnation of the Logos.

Ward, Harold Clifton. "Clement of Alexandria and the creative exegesis of Christian Scripture." Thesis, Durham University, 2017. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/12088/.

Full text
Abstract:
How might one describe early Christian exegesis? This question has given rise to a significant reassessment of patristic exegetical practice in recent decades, and the present thesis contributes to this reappraisal of patristic exegesis in two significant ways. First, this thesis attempts to move beyond the idea of exegesis to investigate the textual practices that serve as its modus operandi. In order to accomplish this task, I develop the notion of "creative exegesis." I argue that creative exegesis permits one to pay attention in detail to two modes of archival thinking at the heart of the ancient exegetical enterprise: the grammatical archive, a repository of the textual practices learned from the grammarian, and the memorial archive, the constellations of textual memories from which textual meaning is constructed. Second, this thesis examines the textual practices of Clement of Alexandria, a figure whose exegesis has on the whole been neglected in modern scholarship. I argue that an assessment of Clement's creative exegesis reveals his deep commitment to scriptural interpretation as the foundation of theological inquiry, even in his works that cannot be explicitly labeled "exegetical." Clement employs various textual practices from the grammatical archive to read Scripture figurally, though he restricts the figural referents of Scripture to two mysteries, bound up in the incarnation of Christ and the knowledge of God. These mysteries are discovered in an act of rhetorical invention by reading Scripture for the constellations that frame its narrative. For Clement, the plot of Scripture—and the progression from Old Testament to New—is expressed under the dual constellations of "fear," by which God leads his people to faith, and "wisdom," through which God leads his people to the ultimate vision of the divine essence.

Full text
Abstract:
In this thesis, I analyse the etymologies of the names and epithets of Greek gods and goddesses found in Clement of Alexandria's Protrepticus. Although scholars have long been aware of Clement's frequent use of etymology throughout almost all of his extant writings, next to no effort has been made to study the particular function of the etymologies of the names and epithets of Greek gods and goddesses. This is a curious oversight, given that Clement is unique among his immediate Christian and Jewish predecessors, contemporaries, and successors for subjecting this category of words to such frequent etymological analysis. In this thesis, I aim to begin the process of rectifying this omission by locating these etymologies within Clement’s peculiar theological and cultural contexts. I contend that Clement turned to etymology as an apologetic technique because he was a thoroughgoing product of the Second Sophistic and recognized the cultural capital that such a literary relic of the classical past carried in the elite intellectual circles of the High Roman Empire. Moreover, I argue that he used these etymologies to contest the divinity of the so-called ‘gods’ and ‘goddesses’ of Greek religion by unveiling their effability.

Abstract:
Abstract Clement of Alexandria offers the metaphor that baptism is like cataract surgery that enables the recipient to see God, and he uses visual perception to describe the transformation and new identity of the baptized Christian. The ways that Clement describes sight, both physical and spiritual, demonstrates an embodied shift in identity and epistemology available through baptism, which he links to the medical metaphor of cataract surgery. Baptism unites the agency of the individual to undergo the physical baptism with the spiritual cataract surgery performed by the divine ophthalmologist to transform the individual from a state of spiritual blindness to one of clear sight. In doing so, Clement’s depiction of spiritual vision ties together conversion, baptism, and growth with the threads of agency, identity, and epistemology.
