Clement of Alexandria: Selections from the Protreptikos is a book that contains a collection of writings by Clement of Alexandria, a prominent figure in the early Christian Church. The Protreptikos, which means ""exhortation"" in Greek, is one of Clement's most famous works and is a treatise on the nature of Christianity and how it differs from other religions of the time.The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Christian doctrine. Clement discusses the importance of faith, the nature of God, the role of Christ in salvation, and the importance of living a virtuous life. He also addresses some of the criticisms that were being leveled against Christianity at the time, such as accusations of immorality and irrationality.The selections in this book are taken from the Protreptikos and are presented in English translation. The text is accompanied by explanatory notes that help to clarify some of the more difficult passages and provide additional context for the reader.Overall, Clement of Alexandria: Selections from the Protreptikos is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the development of Christian doctrine in the early Church. It offers a glimpse into the mind of one of the most influential Christian thinkers of his time and provides insight into the challenges faced by early Christians as they sought to spread their message in a world that was often hostile to their beliefs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
