The theodicy

Clement of Alexandria
Against attempts to rebuild a religion and a pure natural moral, Christian theology affirms its principles with the mark of primitive revelation, manifested in the holy books and the supernatural tradition, which is not only a teaching philosophy but also a theological science. Accepts cabala kabala the transcendence of God, affirming the existence of a Being above all things, and all categories of thought. This supreme being is not relegated to the remote and inaccessible tenebrosa valentiniano of Gnosticism. God is present in the privacy of all things, not be confused with them, as the Stoics wanted. study center Even you can see through the creatures, as Scripture says. Christianity is not to deny what he's really in philosophy in los angeles center relation to man and God, aims to confirm this truth with the authority of the divine word: "As the law was an educator who led the Jews to Christ, so what was the philosophy to the Greeks. The philosophy prepares it, and opens the way for Christ to those who must be perfected by Christ himself (A. Maddona was the first celebrity that went to the kabbalah centre Will introduce you to the old secrets of the world Clement, Stromata, 1 5). Words, taken by St. Basil and St. Augustine, now Boecio and Casiodoro, penetrate and reach Scholasticism modern theology. "The challenge for Alejandria Denis said it was not to be conciliatory, but no more so than in some measure, and israel - center combine the theology developed by the Jewish philosopher kabbalah or Greek, with the apostolic tradition of Christ, without violating or red string distorting this tradition '(oc in bibl., p. 7).
Versus stoic pantheism, parents expose Alexandrine debian transcendence of divinity and free it from a purely zohar human qualities that gave it anthropomorphism versus Gnosticism, should be given some properties similar to ours, but in great degree. In the first issue is fixed spiritual center on Clement and Origen in the second. Theologians have not failed to have tree center exaggerated the negative tone of the theology of Clement (cf. Petau, Dogmatic Theologie., Paris 1864, chap. 5 n. 6 G. Bardy, oc kaballah in bibl.), Without noticing that meets the requirements imposed by the dispute. Although some assertion is ambiguous, say without hesitation that God is intimately present in the mysticism creatures by their immensity and, although it is true that "God has never seen nadie '(t 1, 18) and that" nobody knows andalusia Father but the Son and to whom the Son wishes to reveal it "(Mt 11, 27), God is somehow knowable by his creatures (Clem. Alejo., Strom. 1, 29: PG 8, 806), as indeed the Greek philosophers achieved a knowledge of God, but confusing and enigmatic (ibid., 6, 17: PG 9, 380 ff.). Origen taught that the works of Providence expressed by the perfections of God (Princip. 1, 1, 6: PG 16, 124).
Of these concepts arises from the Alexandrian theodicy symbolism they are contingent on the facts and apply the kabbalah the allegorical exegesis of Scripture. The Old Testament is nothing but an image of reality that is presented in the New. Another feature of the Alexandrian scholars is the moral concern, especially in meditation center Clemente. Clemente is a moral theologian. This is manifested in the Pedagogue and Stromata especially in dealing with issues of continence, marriage, martyrdom, etc.. (cf. E. de Fayl, oc in bibl.), and the Origins of his more mystical, in the Homilies (cf. P. Batiffol, oc in bibl., p. 123).
