The Stromata (Στρώματα) or Stromateis (Στρωματεῖς, `Patchwork`) is the third in Clement of Alexandria`s trilogy of works on the Christian life. Clement titled this work Stromateis, `patchwork,` because it deals with such a variety of matters. It goes further than its two predecessors and aims at the perfection of the Christ...
