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 PseudoClementine writings that has been largely lost to contemporary audiences and a perspective on the divine that we attempt to excavate through this essay. While there are other writings associated with (Pseudo-)Clement that are indebted to common sources and share key themes, we restrict our investigation of the depiction of God to the Homilies; this romance’s distinctive views on Scripture and prophecy influence how the Homilies understand the divine as both concealed and revealed.
