Re: the apostle
Now the apostle, whom they do not comprehend I'm interested to know who the apostle is. From https://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/clement-stromata-book2.html For how ever could the soul admit the transcendental contemplation of such themes, while unbelief respecting what was to be learned st...
