{"product_id":"2940011914621","title":"The Writings of Clement of Rome","description":"Who the Clement was to whom these writings are ascribed, cannot with\u003cbr\u003eabsolute certainty be determined. The general opinion is, that he is\u003cbr\u003ethe same as the person of that name referred to by St. Paul (Phil. iv.\u003cbr\u003e3). The writings themselves contain no statement as to their author.\u003cbr\u003eThe first, and by far the longer of them, simply purports to have been\u003cbr\u003ewritten in the name of the Church at Rome to the Church at Corinth. But\u003cbr\u003ein the catalogue of contents prefixed to the ms. they are both plainly\u003cbr\u003eattributed to one Clement; and the judgment of most scholars is, that,\u003cbr\u003ein regard to the first Epistle at least, this statement is correct, and\u003cbr\u003ethat it is to be regarded as an authentic production of the friend and\u003cbr\u003efellow-worker of St. Paul. This belief may be traced to an early period\u003cbr\u003ein the history of the Church. It is found in the writings of Eusebius\u003cbr\u003e(Hist. Eccl., iii. 15), of Origen (Comm. in Joan., i. 29), and others.\u003cbr\u003eThe internal evidence also tends to support this opinion. The doctrine,\u003cbr\u003estyle, and manner of thought are all in accordance with it; so that,\u003cbr\u003ealthough, as has been said, positive certainty cannot be reached on the\u003cbr\u003esubject, we may with great probability conclude that we have in this\u003cbr\u003eEpistle a composition of that Clement who is known to us from Scripture\u003cbr\u003eas having been an associate of the great apostle.","brand":"Clement Pub","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068260204784,"sku":"2940011914621","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940011914621_p0.jpg?v=1763551101","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940011914621","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
