Book Description
"The First Epistle of Clement" ('Clement to Corinthians') is a letter addressed to the Christians in the city of Corinth. Based on internal evidence some scholars say the letter was composed some time before AD 70, but the common time given for the epistle's composition is at the end of the reign of Domitian (c. AD 96). It ranks as one of the earliest of extant Christian documents outside the traditional New Testament canon. 1 Clement was occasioned by a dispute in Corinth, which had led to the removal from office of several presbyters. Since none of the presbyters were charged with moral offences, 1 Clement charges that their removal was high-handed and unjustifiable. "The Second Epistle of Clement" ('from Clement to Corinthians'), often referred to as 2 Clement, is an early Christian writing. It was considered canon by the Coptic Orthodox Church. 2 Clement appears to be a transcript of a homily or sermon that was originally delivered orally at a Christian worship service.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Second Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians The homily certainly belongs to the second century, but there are no sure indications of its date. However it seems probable that it belonged to the first half of that century, as the following considerations suggest (1) Had it been later, the author would scarcely have used an apocryphal Gospel as if it had the authority of one Of the four evangelists. (2) Although he quotes Gospel language as Scripture, he draws a distinction between the books and the Apostles (see which would scarcely have been drawn in the latter part of the second century. (3) His attack on Gnosticism is not directed against the particular tenets of later Gnostics, such as Valentinus and Marcion. Lightfoot (st. Clement of Rome, Appendix, p. 312) suggests that he would not have spoken of the heavenly Church (xiv.) in language so like that of Valentinus about the aeon Ecclesia, nor would he have emphasized so unreserv edly the antithesis between the Church and the synagogue, had he known the writings of the two heretics mentioned above. This would suit with a date about a.d. 140. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
