Those who are actuated by a love of the truth and love of their
brethren, and neither are rudely insolent towards such rich as are
called, nor, on the other hand, cringe to them for their own
avaricious ends, must first by the word relieve them of their
groundless despair, and show with the requisite explanation of the
oracles of the Lord that the inheritance of the kingdom of heaven
is not quite cut off from them if they obey the commandments; then
admonish them that they entertain a causeless fear, and that the
Lord gladly receives them, provided they are willing. Let the man
who is endowed with worldly wealth reckon that this depends on
himself. Clement of Alexandria (Titus Flavius Clemens), was the
first member of the Church of Alexandria to be more than a name,
and one of its most distinguished teachers. He was born about the
middle of the 2nd century, and died between 211 and 216. He united
Greek philosophical traditions with Christian doctrine and valued
gnosis that with communion for all people could be held by common
Christians.
