Some scholars see in the chief writings of Clement, a Greek theologian who died ca. 215, the ""Exhortation"", ""The Tutor"", the ""Miscellanies"", a great trilogy representing a graduated initiation into the Christian life - belief, discipline, knowledge - three states corresponding to the three degrees of the neo-Platonic mysteries - purification, initiation, and vision. Clement's teaching is undoubtedly colored by Stoicism. (NewAdvent.org)
