ABSTRACT
One of the works associated with Clement, a romance known as the Homilies, suggests that the teaching of Jesus who is the True Prophet and books of Peter's preaching reveal the authentic nature of God which Scripture, in fact, obscures. These striking views illumine a community behind the Pseudo-Clementine writings that has been largely lost to contemporary audiences and a perspective on the divine that we attempt to excavate through this essay. The Pseudo-Clementines, primarily associated with fourth century Syria, have been described simultaneously as "Jewish-Christian", "Gnostic", and "orthodox", however uncertain or ill-defined such designations and posited communities are. It explores a fourth-century Syrian work known as the Pseudo-Clementine Homilies envisages the deity obscured through Scripture and revealed through teaching and oral tradition. To set the stage for people discussion, they offer some preliminary remarks about Pseudo-Clementine literature. Pseudo-Clementine writings are known primarily through the Greek Homilies and the Latin and Syriac Recognitions.
