Introductory Notice to The Recognitions of Clement.
[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.]
Chapter LV.—Public Discussion.
[587] [Here we encounter that favourite notion of apocryphal writers, that each Apostle must he represented as contributing his portion to the statement and defence of the faith.—R.]
Chapter LVII.—Samaritan Refuted.
Chapter LX.—Disciples of John Refuted.
[590] We should doubtless read “Barsabas.”
Chapter LXI.—Caiaphas Answered.
[591] Matt. v. 3; Luke vi. 20.
Chapter LXIV.—Temple to Be Destroyed.
[592] Dan. ix. 27; Matt. xxiv. 15.
Chapter LXV.—Tumult Stilled by Gamaliel.
Chapter LXVIII.—The Rule of Faith.
[594] [This title is consistent with the position accorded to James the Lord’s brother in the entire pseudo-Clementine literature.—R.]
Chapter LXIX.—Two Comings of Christ.
[595] [This sentence seems to have been framed to accord with the Catholic doctrine.—R.]
Chapter LXX.—Tumult Raised by Saul.
[596] A marginal note in one of the manuscripts states that this enemy was Saul. [This is confirmed by chap. 71.—R.]
Chapter LXXI.—Flight to Jericho.
[597] Acts xxii. 5. [There is an evident attempt to cast a slur upon the apostle Paul, but the suppression of the name is significant.—R.]
Chapter LXXII.—Peter Sent to Cæsarea.
