What with all this biblioblogging going around maybe I’ll do a few posts in an exegetical vein.
First off, I’ve been meaning to get into the Church Fathers, an aspect of my theological education that has been sorely neglected in favour of Arabic and statistical machine translation. So I found a more or less readable translation of I Clement — my Greek is far too rusty for a lunchtime read.
My impression: “be nice.” I like the bit about the Phoenix, though.
