Titus Flavius Clemens, also known as Clement of Alexandria, is considered one of the first great Greek theologians of the Catholic Church, he was one of the founders of the catechetical school of Alexandria, one of the first great theological schools of the Christian faith. As his three major works demonstrate, Clement was influenced by Hellenistic philosophy to a greater extent than any other Christian thinker of his time, and in particular by Plato and the Stoics.

Three of Clement's major works have survived in full, and they are collectively referred to as the trilogy: The Protrepticus,  the Paedagogus and The Stromata.
