This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ... nium, he is completely silent. However, he admits that, after death, the souls of sinners will be sanctified (dyidfav) by an intelligent fire, and that the wicked will be likewise punished by fire.1 Is their chastisement to last forever? Clement does not think so: those tortures of which he speaks in the seventh Stroma, 2 (col. 216), and which follow the final judgment bring the guilty to repentance. This same idea occurs again in the 12th chapter (col. 506); besides, in the 16th chapter (col. 541) the author lays down the principle that God does not punish, but only corrects, that is, that any punishment on His part is remedial.2 When we remember that later on Origen started from the very same principle to infer the apocatastasis, we are probably right in believing that Clement understood this principle in the same way as his illustrious successor. Anyhow, he adds that, for the elect, they shall be received into one of the three dwelling-places signified by the numbers thirty, sixty, a hundred, of the parable of the seed (Matt., 138).3 The Gnostic alone is allowed to enjoy what the eye has not seen, nor the ear heard, what has not entered into the heart of man to conceive. He will enter the house of God, there to contemplate Him in a light unchangeable and eternal.4 5 a. -- Origen.5 Of all the theologians of the East, Origen is undoubtedly the greatest and the one whose influence has been the deepest.
