Clement of Alexandria was a well-educated Christian scholar who lived in the second half of the second century. He not only knew the Holy Scriptures and almost all existing Christian literature, but he also had detailed knowledge of Greek philosophical and classical literature. He taught that revelation should be presented in the context of all true knowledge, and therefore in light of pre-Christian philosophy also. He gathered the elements of truth present in philosophy and showed that it had reached its fullness in Christianity, which was its new form. Only three writings from Clement of Alexandria's rich output have survived in their entirety, and these are mutually related and illustrate the stages of Christian maturity. They are, in chronological order: Protrepticus (Exhortation to the Heathen), Paedagogus (The Instructor), and Stromata (Miscellanies). The author, who was a moralist rather than a systematic theologian, remained under the influence of Middle Platonism. He also drew on the works of distinguished predecessors, such as Justin the Philosopher and Tatian. Clement of Alexandria understood theology as Christian gnosis. In his writings, which constitute a philosophical-theological trilogy, he presented the Logos as operating in three ways. In contrast to the Gnostics, Clement argued that there can be a proper and harmonious relationship between faith and knowledge. Faith is always the basis and starting point for his considerations, but philosophy can help us reach Christian truth. He thus established a dialogue between Christianity and philosophy and in so doing went beyond other Christian apologists. In his writings, Clement was not able to precisely define the relationship between God, the Logos-Son and the Holy Spirit. For this reason, he described the Logos mainly in relation to God and people, and also in terms of the economy of salvation. In his view, Jesus Christ was the special activation of God the Father in action-the divine Logos who became Man in order to lead people to union with the Creator. The Logos was the Servant of God in relation to the world and this role allowed Clement to justify monotheism. Clement of Alexandria was a Hellenistic writer, but he emphasized his strong attachment to the Church. He strongly opposed Gnosticism and submitted to the authority of Scripture as inspired Revelation. In his teaching, true knowledge was the process of spiritual growth through knowledge of God. The ultimate goal of such knowledge was to achieve full internal harmony with, and participation in the divine Logos.

The concept of the Divine Logos was influenced by Greek philosophy and Philo of Alexandria. The apologists thus present the Logos as a cosmic principle and a divine Illuminator, who has little in common with the historical person of Jesus of Nazareth. The Logos brings people knowledge that contributes to the salvation of their souls and strengthens their union with God. The entities created by the Logos possess the same Spirit, but they differ in their share in the divine Logos. Unfortunately, there exist also demons that prevent the establishment of a relationship with the Logos, trouble human minds, and direct them towards matter. However, thanks to the bond with the divine Logos, some follow the Holy Spirit. In cooperation with grace and through obedience to the Logos, such people can overcome death and obtain immortality in God.From their reflections on the divine Logos, we learn that individual beings owe their existence to the Logos and Wisdom of God. All creatures have been given the laws of the Logos so they can participate in life and rationality. Thanks to these special gifts, all created matter has a share in the divine nature. This participation is called the sacred law (νόμον ἅγιον) through which creatures remain in constant contact with their Creator and are sustained by the hand of God. This causes the entire universe to be purposefully and harmoniously interconnected. In addition, humans are called to a special unity with the Logos and to believe in Christ so they might be God's instruments and preachers of the Truth. Thanks to the communion with the Logos, after the earthly life, each person can also receive immortality and eternal life. According to the apologists, the whole teaching of the divine Logos is best presented in the New Testament.

"To become aware of the Logos is to become aware of the Logos in oneself.... The world speaks. Before all else, it utters speaking itself. Or does speaking utter the world." So begin the first two chapters of this inspired, existential meditation on the contemporary meaning of the message of St. John: "In the beginning was the Word." Through this Word--Logos--all things became. In it was life, the light of human beings. It shown I the darkness, and the darkness received it not. It was in the world, and the world did not know it. It entered individual being, and, to those who received it, it gave the ability to become the children of God. Its radiance was seen, full of grace and truth. The fruit of many years of study and meditation, Becoming Aware of the Logos places the reader in the world of living thinking and cognitive love. It teaches the way of grace and truth in a radical, original manner. For the Logos, although it is the ground of any true logic, is beyond ordinary dialectic. The author does not approach his subject conventionally, but penetrates and communicates it by unfolding central themes such as: the Logos in the beginning; the light in the darkness; the speaker; life; spirit; grace; and truth. "A single human being has no reality; the existence of 'man' begins with the word that floats between I and you. The Logos connects human beings through the Word; all else is temptation or a temporary connection." -- Georg Kühlewind

In his writings, Justin Martyr presents the theme of participation in the divine Logos. The most important source for his philosophical and theological interpretation of this theme is the term "Logos spermatikos" (λόγος σπερματικός), which he explains in several chapters of his Apologies. In introducing the concept into Christian thought, Justin develops the doctrine of the pre-existent Logos, who was hidden during Old Testament times, but then passed on the "seeds of truth" to some philosophers, before fully revealing himself in the Person of Jesus Christ. The author of the Apologies introduces new content to the theology of the Logos, which he later supplements in his Dialogue with Trypho: "The Logos was and is the Word who is in every man, and who foretold the things that were to come to pass both through the prophets and in His own person when He was made of like passions, and taught these things." The apologetic writings of Justin indicate that the "seed of the Logos" in human beings (τὸ σπέρμα τοῦ Λόγου) and the divine Logos himself are completely different. According to the apologist, all people have a share in the Logos, who is Jesus Christ. There are two groups of people, however-one group that lives "according to the Logos" and the other that lives "without the Logos".
