The Stromata Or Miscellanies V4 is a book written by Clement of Alexandria, a Christian theologian who lived in the late 2nd and early 3rd centuries AD. The book is a collection of various theological and philosophical writings that cover a wide range of topics, including the nature of God, the role of faith in salvation, the importance of moral behavior, and the relationship between the Old and New Testaments. The book is divided into eight books, with each book containing a series of chapters that explore different aspects of Christian theology and philosophy. Throughout the book, Clement draws on a wide range of sources, including the Bible, Greek philosophy, and other early Christian writings. The overall theme of the book is the idea that the Christian faith is a complex and multifaceted system of beliefs that requires careful study and reflection in order to fully understand. Clement argues that true faith is not simply a matter of blind acceptance of dogma, but rather a deep and nuanced understanding of the nature of God and the world around us. Overall, The Stromata Or Miscellanies V4 is a fascinating and thought-provoking work that offers valuable insights into the early development of Christian theology and philosophy. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity or the evolution of religious thought in general.These things, then, are to be abstained from, not for their own sakes, but for the sake of the body; and care for the body is exercised for the sake of the Soul, to which it has reference. For on this account it is necessary for the man who lives as a gnostic to know what is suitable. Since the fact that pleasure is not a good thing is admitted from the fact that certain pleasures are evil, by this reason good appears evil, and evil good. And then, if we choose some pleasures and shun others, it is not every pleasure that is a good thing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
