 | | The epistle was publicly read from time to time at Corinth, and by the 4th century this usage had spread to other churches. | | | The letter was extremely lengthy—it was twice as long as the Epistle to the Hebrews & includes several references to the Old Testament. | | | A second epistle, better described as a homily and written in the second century, has been traditionally ascribed to Clement, but recent scholarship discredits his authorship. |

| | The author is certainly not Clement of Rome, whatever may be our judgment as to whether or not Clement was a bishop, a martyr, a disciple of the apostles. | | | It is claimed for them that they were written by Clement, in name of the Church of Rome, to the Church of Corinth in connection with disputes which had arisen there on questions of [3485] government. | | | At a later date was added an Epistle of the Church of Smyrna; on the same grounds might be added the epistle of the churches of Vienne and Lyons. |

| | The Structure |
| | I Clement is a letter that was sent from the Church in Rome to the Church in Corinth around A.D. Although St. Clement is not mentioned by name in the letter, early tradition is unanimous in assigning it to Clement. | | | Elsewhere he writes, "The Apostles received the Gospel for us from the Lord Jesus Christ: Jesus the Christ was sent from God. | | | From the writings of the early Church Fathers such as St. Clement, St. Ignatios, St. Justin, and St. Irenaios, it is evident that the governing structure of the early Church was directly related to Her nature as a Eucharistic community. |

| | Calling a letter an "epistle" does not by itself imply that the letter is part of the New Testament, inspired, or even that it is necessarily religious in nature. | | | == New Testament Epistles == The epistles of the New Testament are [[ChristianityChristian]] writings of [[Apostles]] to churches in particular parts of the world. | | | Today in common usage this somewhat elevated term usually connotes a specific group of books in the [[New Testament]] that either were letters or were written in that [[genreliterary form]], although "epistle" can refer to other written missives as well, such as a bishop's [[open letter]] to the congregants of his see. |

| | Or again, in such a passage as 1 Tim 1:12-17 the King James Version, the author of the epistle has not descended from the lofty plane of faith to that of mere piety and morality, when he writes, "The grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. | | | Clement was in Rome when he wrote this, and, accordingly, the natural import of the words is that Paul went to the limit of the western half of then known world, or in other words, to the western boundary of the lands bordering the Mediterranean, that is, to Spain. | | | The external evidence is all in favor of the reception of these epistles., which were known not only to Clement and Polycarp, but also to Irenaeus, Tertullian, the author of the Epistle to the churches of Vienne and Lyons, and Theophilus of Antioch. |

| | The ceremonial law is full of Christ, and all the gospel is full of Christ; the blessed lines of both Testaments meet in Him; and how they both agree and sweetly unite in Jesus Christ, is the chief object of the epistle to the Hebrews to discover. | | | The great truth set forth in this epistle is that Jesus of Nazareth is the true God. | | | Even then, some of the books were debated ( for example, Hebrews, James, the Revelation) and some sections of the church used books that were not accepted in other areas ( The Didache, The Epistles of Clement, The Shepherd of Hermas, etc.). |

| | Gnosticism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | Rather than simply declaring these two gods to be unrelated, as did Marcion, Ptolemy develops a complex, allegorical reading of the Hebrew Scriptures in relation to the New Testament in order to establish a genealogy connecting the Pleroma, Sophia and her "passion," the Demiurge, and the salvific activity of Jesus Christ. | | | We also find, in both the myth and the Epistle, Ptolemy making an attempt to bring Hebrew Scripture into line with Gnostic teaching and New Testament allegorization in a manner heretofore unprecedented among the Gnostics. | | | The "animate" humans, however, who are composed partly of corruptible matter and partly of the spiritual essence, must remain content with a simple restful existence with the craftsman of the cosmos, since no material element can enter the Pleroma (Irenaeus 1.7.1). |

| | AN ANCIENT HOMILY COMMONLY STYLED THE SECOND EPISTLE OF CLEMENT |
| | On this theory the title is thus accounted for: The genuine Epistle of Clement was addressed to the Corinthians, and read in the church of that city from time to time. | | | A commonly accepted opinion among critics at the present day is, that this is not an Epistle at all, but a fragment of one of the many homilies falsely ascribed to Clement. | | | Each was "to the Corinthians:" hence it was gradually inferred that both were Epistles of Clement. |
