What reading level is Clement of Alexandria book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For him, therefore, the dis- tinction between natural and revealed religion was CLEMENT'S THEORY OF GOD 171 a vanishing quantity. Every good thought, every good wish, every good deed, was rightly held by him to be due to the presence of the only Good that is God.
Whatever good there was to be found in any system of religion or philosophy, he traced back to the in- fluence exhibited in a less degree perhaps of the same Divine Wisdom that spake in the days of old to patriarch and prophet in many ...fragments and in many ways. God in Christ was ever in the world, educating man, now - : by new trials, now by new light, until the time was ripe for the fuller revelation of God among men when the Word became flesh.
Accordingly he saw in philosophy a system divinely ordered to bring men to the wisdom of Christ, just as Paul saw in the Law a method of divine discipline intended to usher men into the fuller light of the righteousness of Christ.
And in the punishments and chastisements that follow after sin, Clement discerned a loving hand moulding and shaping the human soul, evolving what is divine in man, sometimes indeed by stern methods, not however with a view to hurt, but to heal, just as a surgeon amputates and cauterizes, not from any ill-will to the patient, but because he desires to save his life.
