Maisha
[hariri | hariri chanzo]Klemens alikuwa mwenyeji wa Ugiriki aliyezaliwa katika familia ya wapagani matajiri mjini Athens.
Baada ya kupokea imani ya Kikristo, alisafiri akitembelea walimu Wakristo katika nchi mbalimbali kama vile Ugiriki, Italia na Palestina hadi Misri.
Huko alipewa nafasi ya kufundisha kwenye Chuo cha Kikristo cha Aleksandria akishirikiana na mwanzilishi wake Panteno.
Jitihada ya Klemens ilikuwa kupatanisha imani ya Kikristo na dhana za falsafa ya Kigiriki. Alifaulu kufafanua Ukristo kwa wasomi wapagani na kuvuta wengi kwenye imani yake mpya.
Klemens alikuwa ndiye mwalimu wa Origene.
