Summary
The Pseudo-Clementines are best known for preserving early »Jewish Christian« traditions, but have not been appreciated as a resource for understanding the struggles over identity and orthodoxy among fourth-century Christians, Jews, and pagans. Nicole Kelley analyzes the Recognitions' rhetorical strategies, and argues that the text is a coherent narrative concerned primarily with epistemological issues.
