About this listen

The Pseudo-Clementine Homilies are an early Christian novel presenting a theological and philosophical narrative in the voice of Clement of Rome. Structured as a travel memoir, the story follows Clement’s journey through the eastern Mediterranean alongside the apostle Peter. Central to the work are Peter’s public debates with Simon Magus, which serve as a vehicle for the text’s engagement with topics such as divine providence, free will, the nature of truth, and the proper interpretation of Scripture. The narrative also explores themes of family, identity, and divine guidance, giving it a personal dimension that complements its theological concerns.

Reflecting a Jewish-Christian milieu, the Homilies preserve an alternative strand of early Christian thought distinct from what later became orthodox theology. The text emphasizes moral rigor, the rejection of idolatry, and a cosmic dualism in which true knowledge is progressively revealed. It also presents a strong opposition to sacrificial religion and a view of Jesus as the true prophet rather than a divine being. The work’s unique blend of theology, polemic, and storytelling makes it a significant source for understanding early Christian diversity and the debates that shaped the emerging faith.
