The Stromata Or Miscellanies V3 is a book written by Clement of Alexandria, a Christian theologian who lived in the late 2nd century AD. This book is the third volume of a larger work that explores various topics related to Christianity and philosophy. The word ""stromata"" translates to ""miscellanies"" in English, which reflects the diverse nature of the content in this book. The book is divided into seven sections, each of which covers a different topic. The first section focuses on the nature of God and the relationship between God and humanity. The second section discusses the importance of faith and the role of the Church in promoting it. The third section explores the concept of salvation and the role of Christ in achieving it. The fourth section delves into the nature of sin and the importance of repentance. The fifth section discusses the role of philosophy in Christian thought and the relationship between reason and faith. The sixth section explores the relationship between the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. Finally, the seventh section discusses the importance of prayer and the various forms it can take. Throughout the book, Clement draws on a wide range of sources, including the Bible, Greek philosophy, and other Christian writers. He also provides his own insights and interpretations on these topics, making the book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian thought.Qui autem Dei creaturae resistunt per speciosam illam continentiam, illa quoque dicunt, quae ad Salomen dicta sunt, quorum prius meminimus: habentur autem, ut existimo, in Evangelio secundum AEgyptios.(11) Aiunt enim ipsum dixisse Servatorem: ""Veni ad dissolvendum opera feminae;"" feminae quidem, cupiditatis; opera autem generationem et interitum. Quid ergo dixerint? Desiit haec administratio?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
