The Septuagint and 1 Clement

NOTES ON 1-2 Clement

Only the first of these letters (1Clem) is likely St. Clement's, written when he was the fourth bishop of Rome and addressing the church in Corinth (Greece). The second (2Clem) is now usually recognized as an ancient homily (sermon) later associated with Clement. Both are included in various Biblical codices.

Clement has been associated with St. Peter the Apostle from the very early days of the Church -- a strain of the faith that runs in parallel with Pauline Christianity. The Acts of the Apostles is notable, for example, in focusing on Peter and Paul in succession (Acts 2-12 + 13-28) as the Church moved into the wider world.

VERSE OF THE DAY for 6 Aug 2021

Therefore, it is right for us to pay attention [give heed] to so great and so many examples and to give up [submit the neck] and being obedient [occupying the place of obedience], to take our side with those [them] who [that] are the leaders of our souls, that ceasing from this foolish dissension, we may achieve [attain unto] the goal that truly lies before us [which lieth before us in truthfulness], avoiding [keeping aloof from] every fault. ( 1Clem 63:1, 1891 Lightfoot updated )

Lamb’s Harbinger on Clement I

Clement (I) of Rome is regarded by scholars of early Christianity as one of the earliest post-Apostolic Christian leaders, being supposed to have received appointment as an elder/overseer of the church at Rome by the Apostle Peter. Clement’s only letter (1 Clement), composed (logically speaking) sometime during his service to the Church of God at Rome, is dated from 88 A.D. to the mid-90s or late…
