Introductory Notice to The Recognitions of Clement.
Chapter XLI.—Rejection of the True Prophet.
[569] Matt. xxvii. 45, 51, 52.
Chapter XLII.—Call of the Gentiles.
[570] [Chaps. 42, 43, show little of the Ebionitic tendency, except in the attempt to reduce the difference between Jews and Christians to the single point of belief in the Messiahship of Jesus.—R]
Chapter XLIII.—Success of the Gospel.
Chapter XLIV.—Challenge by Caiaphas.
[575] [Evidently “the Lord’s brother.” Comp. chap. 68.—R.]
[576] This account of occurrences in Jerusalem (chaps. 45–70) is probably meant to supplement Acts v. and viii. The date tallies with the stoning of Stephen, to which there is no allusion. The whole bears abundant marks of “manipulation” of the New-Testament record.—R.]
Chapter XLV.—The True Prophet: Why Called the Christ.
[577] [The discourse of chaps. 45–52 is interesting from its christological consistency. The doctrine, while showing Ebionitic origin, is closer to the Catholic view than that of the Homilies.—R.]
[578] [The references to oil in chaps. 45–48, particularly the connection of anointing with baptism, have been regarded, since the discovery of the full text of Hippolytus, as showing traces of relationship to the system of the Elkesaites. See Introductory Notice. In the forms given by Hippolytus (see Ante-Nicene Fathers, v. pp. 132, 133) the oil is represented as one of “seven witnesses” to be adjured by the subject of baptism.—R.]
Chapter XLVIII.—The True Prophet, a Priest.
Chapter L.—His Rejection by the Jews.
Chapter LII.—The Saints Before Christ’s Coming.
[583] That is, the sin of sacrifice.
[585] [Comp. book ii. 8–11 and Homily II. 24. The writer here confuses the later Dositheus with an earlier teacher, whose disciple Zadok was the founder of the sect of the Sadduccees.—R.]
