Abstract
In the latter half of .the second century Tertullian could write in his Prescription, "Quid Athenae Hierosolymis"? Not many miles eastward there lived a .contemporary in ' . Alexandria who thought Athens had much to do with Jerusalem. Clement of Alexandria had begun a tradition in. the Catholic Church which was destined to influence its theological thinking until the present day. He began the never-ending task of attempting systematically to relate the Gospel of' Jesus Christ to the culture of the world in which Christians live. Although he has not gained immortality through his own systematic efforts, the fruits of his labor were to be seen in his pupil Origen.
