Clemente ofrece un manual de instrucciones para creyentes, donde presenta a Cristo como el Güa y Maestro de la humanidad, el Mdico del alma, que introduce al creyente en la moral y las cuestiones prcticas de la vida cristiana.
Clemente supo aceptar el reto lanzado por los intelectuales paganos contra la incipiente fe cristiana y, sin apartarse para nada de las doctrinas centrales del Evangelio, acert a responderles con su mismo lenguaje. As, se sirve de lo mejor de la cultura griega, en la cual era un experto, para demostrar que la verdad que desean alcanzar los filsofos se encuentra en las enseanzas de Cristo. Prolfico escritor, lamentablemente, tan slo una pequea parte de sus obras se han conservado, siendo las ms conocidas sus Exhortaciones a los gentiles, El Pedagogo y Stromatis o Tapices.
Clemente offers an instruction manual for believers, where he presents Christ as the Guide and Teacher of humanity, the Physician of the soul, who introduces the believer into the moral and practical issues of the Christian life.
Clemente was able to accept the challenge posed by pagan intellectuals against the incipient Christian faith and, without departing from the central doctrines of the Gospel, he was able to answer them in his own language. Thus he uses the best of Greek culture in which he was an expert, to show that the truth that philosophers wish to attain is found in the teachings of Christ. A prolific writer, unfortunately, only a small part of his works have been preserved, the best known being his Exhortations to the Gentiles, The Pedagogue and Stromatis or Tapices.
