About this book
Clement of Alexandria’s collected writings combine an argument for Christians addressed to pagans, guidance on conduct, and extended reflections on faith and learning. Addressing both outsiders he hopes to persuade and believers being taught how to live, he moves between public argument and practical counsel. In challenging pagan worship, he disputes the idea that forces such as time or justice should be treated as gods. His advice on laughter links speech to character, insisting that mockery can reveal a fault in the person who speaks.
