The narrative frame of the Clementine homily is represented by Clement’s conversion from the Hellenic paideia to the “true prophet’s” doctrine – meaning Jesus’ – after Clement met his testimonies Barnabas and Peter, and attended their preaching. By this narrative the ps.-Clement aims at showing that sure knowledge of the truth cannot be attained through Greek philosophy; rather, it is attained only through direct acquaintance with the teachings of the true prophet. The comparison here carried on with Origen and Porphyry shows that the Christian doctrine and Hellenic philosophy oppose to each other, in this Homily, precisely in that for Christians truth consists in the God’s revelation in the human history, something that cannot be adequately be rendered by the philosophical claim for universal knowledge.
