Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The aim of this article is to present Clement of Alexandria’s response to the Valentinian concepts of baptism, with an emphasis not on his critical position (which is absolutely predominant), but on some of the elements that Clement is inspired by and which enrich his own theology by their creative adaptation. This is in particular the Valentinian conception of baptism as an entry into knowledge and into a new future, or as a spiritual resurrection that can be experienced already here in this world. The article draws on Clement’s Excerpts from Theodotus and Eclogae propheticae, as well as on his Paedagogus and Stromata.
