Clement of Alexandria's name comes from the Greek word klementos, which is a combination of the word "kline", meaning a "pillar" or "post", and the word "alexandros", meaning "the one who leads". This could be interpreted as a description of Clement's role as a leader of the Christian Church.
Clement of Alexandria was a Christian theologian and philosopher who lived in the Roman Empire from around AD 150 to AD 215. He is considered one of the most important Church Fathers and he is especially noted for his writings in the field of Christian theology. His works, which were written in Greek, represent the earliest Christian attempts to establish a systematic theology. His writings are known for their philosophical and scientific value as well as their theological value. In fact, some consider him to be the first Christian philosopher.
Clement was born in Alexandria, Egypt. He came under the influence of the Greek Paideia movement, which emphasized education and regarded philosophy as the highest of all study. He was taught in grammar school by the Christian priest and writer Athenagoras of Athens.
Titus Flavius Clemens, also known as Clement of Alexandria (Greek: Κλήμης ὁ Ἀλεξανδρεύς; c. 150 – c. 215 AD), was a Christian theologian and philosopher who taught at the Catechetical School of Alexandria. Among his pupils were Origen and Alexander of Jerusalem. A convert to Christianity, he was an educated man who was familiar with classical Greek philosophy and literature. As his three major works demonstrate, Clement was influenced by Hellenistic philosophy to a greater extent than any other Christian thinker of his time, and in particular, by Plato and the Stoics. His secret works, which exist only in fragments, suggest that he was familiar with pre-Christian Jewish esotericism and Gnosticism as well. In one of his works he argued that Greek philosophy had its origin among non-Greeks, claiming that both Plato and Pythagoras were taught by Egyptian scholars.
