520 |a Famous for his diverse literary borrowings, Clement of Alexandria quoted freely from a range of early Christian writings – including many penned by or popular with his direct opponents. This paper proposes a re-examination of Clement’s non-canonical Christian borrowings through an appreciation of his hermeneutic of the divine Logos. This framework encouraged a form of reading, modeled by Clement himself, where reading became editing. All texts could be reworked to display at least a fragment of divine truth, even disputed or controversial “Christian” texts. This new perspective allows a rethinking of Clement’s use, reuse and relationship with several texts – including influential works such as the Shepherd of Hermas, Epistle of Barnabas, and Apocalypse of Peter.
