Clement of Alexandria

Clemens von Alexandrien (um 150–215) war ein frühchristlicher Theologe, Philosoph und Leiter der Katechetenschule im ägyptischen Alexandria. Er verband als einer der ersten christlichen Autoren den biblischen Glauben systematisch mit der antiken Philosophie und begründete ein einflussreiches Konzept der Glaubenserkenntnis. Für heutige Bibelleser bietet sein Werk ein frühes Zeugnis für das reflektierte Zusammenspiel von Glaube und Vernunft sowie für die theologische Auseinandersetzung mit der zeitgenössischen Kultur.
