Introductory Notice to The Recognitions of Clement.
Chapter XLIV.—The Serpent, the Author of Polytheism.
[650] Ps. lxxxvi. 8; lxxi. 19.
[652] Josh. xxiii. 7, in Sept.
[653] Gen. iii. [The same thought occurs in Homily X. 10, 11 —R.]
Chapter XLV.—Polytheism Inexcusable.
Chapter XLVI.—Christ Acknowledged the God of the Jews.
[658] [Compare Homily XVII. 4.—R.]
[659] Matt. xi. 27. [Comp. Luke x. 22. This objection is given in Homilies XVII. 4, XVIII. 4.—R.]
Chapter XLVIII.—Peter’s Answer.
Chapter XLIX.—The Supreme Light.
[661] This chapter presents the topic which is made the main point in a subsequent discussion with Simon; see Homily XVIII.—R.]
Chapter L.—Simon’s Presumption.
[662] [With chaps. 50, 51, comp. Homily XVII. 13, etc.—R.]
Chapter LIII.—Simon’s Blasphemy.
[663] We render by a periphrasis the expression ineffabili quadam ratione compertum. The meaning seems to be, that the belief of the existence and unity of God is not the result of reasoning, but of intuition or instinct.
[664] [The argument of Simon here differs from that represented in Homilies XVII., XVIII. There Simon asserts that the Framer of the world is not the highest God, because He is not both just and good. Comp. also book iii. 37, 38.—R.]
Chapter LV.—Simon’s Objections Turned Against Himself.
