Introductory Notice to The Recognitions of Clement.
Chapter XXXII.—Simon’s Challenge.
[629] [The discussion in the Homilies is represented as virtually beginning with this statement of the Apostle; comp. Homily III. 37. The arguments here, however, are given with greater detail.—R.]
Chapter XXXVIII.—Simon’s Creed.
[630] [In both the Recognitions and the Homilies the contest turns upon the monotheistic teaching of the Old Testament and the supreme Deity of Jehovah. This is rightly regarded as an evidence of Ebionitic origin. But Gnostic elements enter again and again.—R.]
Chapter XXXIX.—Argument for Polytheism.
[638] [Compare Homily XVI. 6.—R.]
[639] [The reply of Peter here is of a higher character than that given in the Homilies (see iii. 40, etc.). Indeed, the report of the entire discussion in the Recognitions shows a superior conception of the Apostle.—R.]
Chapter XLI.—The Answer, Continued.
Chapter XLII.—Guardian Angels.
[642] [This remarkable chapter is peculiar to the Recognitions. The angelology seems to be Ebionitic, rather than Gnostic.—R.]
Chapter XLIII.—No God But Jehovah.
Chapter XLIV.—The Serpent, the Author of Polytheism.
