The topics range between belief in the Lord God, the nature and existence of immortality, and various religious questions and philosophic ideas. Later, we hear of Clement's activities spanning Rome, Palestine, Egypt and elsewhere, the spiritual events he officiated, and sermons he delivered to early believers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eModern theologians and scholars do not generally consider the Clementine Homilies to have been penned by Pope Clement I (c. 35 - 99 AD) himself. Instead, they are attributed to a \"Pseudo-Clement\" who lived sometime between the 2\u003csup\u003end\u003c\/sup\u003e and 4\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e centuries A.D. Nevertheless, the works are valuable both as a manner of biographical study, and for their insight into early Christian history and culture. A multitude of references to important events which combined depict an evolution of the church from small, localized groups of adherents into an organized and cohesive whole remains of great interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 230\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.52 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 1870\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51777732378912,"sku":"9781789876451","price":21.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/7e11ae30035d882ee34f0176434a1e00.webp?v=1780501217","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-clementine-homilies-a-classic-of-the-early-christian-church-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
