This paper was delivered October of 1969 during the Symposium held at Delphi by the HeIIenic Humanistic Society. Based selected passages from the writings of Clement of Alexandria, taken mainly from his (IExhortatory Address the Greeks.) or this study demostrates the more important elements about man through which Clement succeeded combining the ancient view of man with the new Among the ancient Greek phiIosophers, Plato, Xenophon and Antisthenes had already taught about the true God whose likeness man was created. Man's purpose is become a reaI man, according the image of God. Despite the fact that he Iived an age of moraI perversion and decIine, Clement is

Thus, CIement strives for man's return the truth from which he has strayed, and for his repentance. Towards this end, he refers us Plato and other Greek sages. From their writings, Clement shows the basic identity between Plato's concept of the supreme being and that of Christianity's, the latter being com-pletely revealed through knowledge of God Christ.

Concerning Sin: Mankind, as the totality all men, can be considered as sub-jugated sin. The origina1 sin springs from involuntary automatic activity. Rit-schl also demythodologizes the doctrine J u s t t a e r g n a s. The feeling guilt is associated with divine punishment. God forgives sins as ignorance (imperfection).

Concerning the Person and the work Christ: Luther was the first think Christ's divintity terms eva1uative criteria. We may know God's nature its essence. There is sphere which Christ's Royal dignity is exercised a10ng with His priestly and prophetical work. Ritschl makes a distinction between reli-gious and ethical evalution regards Christ's person. Jesus considered Himself as the total self-revelation God. This is a religious judgment, an ethical moral one. Christ's suffering is the manifestation His fidelity His mission. Christ's ethical crisis about Himself the light His mission ends a religious eva-luative crisis. Christ's divinity is understood by Ritschl an ethical sense. «Christ's divinity can be properly evaluted by theology when Christ is understood as the

head the community the kingdom God.). Ritschl accepts Christ's preexistence as a type ideal preexistence. Christ is the eternal object God's while we are such the demension time.

Forgivenss sins: Forgiveness and justification are used by Ritschl almost as synonyms. Forgiveness lifts guilt - punishment from man: justification is the creative action God through which the guilt disappears. is synonymous with justification and homogeneous to the meaning God's kingdom.

Faith is a prerequisite for justification. The need for justification forgiveness is understood its connection with the meaning eternallife through faith. Forgive-ness is based upon Christ's work; is thus an attribute the Community. The Church is «the ideal substrata the saving actions God offered through Christ.»

The perfection man: Man's perfection is the perfect exercise religious and moral virtues. Holiness is counted quantitatively (i.e. according human sums) but (with regard the individual).
