Exhortation to the Heathen: 55 (Lighthouse Church Fathers)

The Exhortation the object of which is to win pagans to the Christian faith contains a complete and withering exposure of the abominable licentiousness the gross imposture and sordidness of paganism. With clearness and cogency of argument great earnestness and eloquence Clement sets forth in contrast the truth as taught in the inspired Scriptures the true God and especially the personal Christ the living Word of God the Savior of men. It is an elaborate and masterly work rich in felicitous classical allusion and quotation breathing throughout the spirit of philosophy and of the Gospel and abounding in passages of power and beauty.
