Just finished reading both. The 1st letter of Clement focused on admonishing and exhorting the Corinthians.
There were mostly truths, but there were examples he used that is not true like the phoenix in chapter 25.
Then on Chapter 39, he quoted the words of Job’s unfaithful friends as if truth like in Job 4:16-21;5:1-5; 15:15.(Job 42:7)
His 2nd letter is not in the same volume of Ante-Nicene Fathers Book Volume 1. Searched for it online, and read that it was later written by a different author that is attributed it to other Clement of later time. His first sentence and in the middle part of his letter about the Christ does reflect the teaching of later Christians if understood not in the way as God’s exact image.
This part though raised a red flag on me. Making almsgiving as a way to lighten or repent from their sin.
What are your takes on these two letters?
