Homilies: Ὁμίλαι

by Clement of Rome

The Pseudo-Clementine Homilies are an early Christian novel unlike any other. Framed as a travel memoir, they follow Clement—later bishop of Rome—as he joins the apostle Peter on a mission through the eastern Mediterranean. Along the way, Peter confronts Simon Magus in public debates that tackle weighty questions: How do we know what’s true? What is the role of divine revelation? What does it mean to live righteously in a world full of error?
