Clement of Alexandria, St (
c.150–
c.215). Christian
father (patristic theologian). He was head of the catechetical school of
Alexandria from 190. His chief works are the
Protrepticus, or ‘Exhortation to the Greeks’, the
Paedagogus on Christian life and manners, and the
Stromateis, or ‘Miscellanies’. He shared the emphasis of the
desert fathers on the unknowability of God (see
APOPHATIC THEOLOGY). His name occurs in the early martyrologies, but it was excised by Pope Clement VIII on the grounds of his doubtful orthodoxy.
