The Stromata, Or Miscellanies, Books VII-VIII Author: Clement of Alexandria Title: The Stromata, Or Miscellanies, Books VII-VIII Larger Work: The Early Church Fathers and Other Works Wm. B. Eerdmans Pub. Co., Edinburgh, Scotland, 1867 Description: The most important subject of this document is the relation of Christian faith to secular learning. Deals with refutation of Gnosis, and describes the true Gnosis and its relation to faith. The true gnostic strives for moral perfection, consisting in chastity and love of God. The Stromata, Or Miscellanies Book VII Chapter I The Gnostic A True Worshipper Of God, And Unjustly Calumniated By Unbelievers As An Athiest It is now time to show the Greeks that the Gnostic alone is truly pious; so that the philosophers, learning of what description the true Christian is, may condemn their own stupidity in rashly and inconsiderately persecuting the Christian name, and without reason calling those impious who know the true God. And clearer arguments must be employed, I reckon, with the philosophers, so that they may be able, from the exercise they have already had through their own training, to understand, although they have not yet shown themselves worthy to partake of the power of believing. The prophetic sayings we shall not at present advert to, as we are to avail ourselves of the Scriptures subsequently at the proper places. But we shall point out summarily the points indicated by them, in our delineation of Christianity, so that by taking the Scriptures at once (especially as they do not yet comprehend their utterances), we may not interrupt the continuity of the discourse. But after pointing out the things indicated, proofs shall be shown in abundance to those who have believed.

Extractions: Mathematical Techniques Tour (Next) Mathematical Techniques Pages Mathematical Explanations Logarithms Spherical Trigonometry Home Index Mathematics is and always has been of central importance to astronomy. As soon as observations became quantified the possibility for calculation and prediction based on observations was open to astronomers. Mathematical developments were both applied to and motivated by astronomical calculations, and many of the most famous astronomers were also mathematicians and vice versa. Although techniques have become increasingly complex, the majority of mathematical astronomical techniques are concerned with positioning and calculation of relative distances of heavenly bodies. The basis of this is spherical trigonometry , which allows calculations on the celestial sphere based on observations taken from an observer on earth. The projection of the celestial sphere onto a flat surface allowed the construction of instruments such as the astrolabe and the mapping of the heavens. Techniques for increasingly accurate calculation were crucial to the development of astronomy as an exact science. It must be borne in mind, however, that not everyone studying or using astronomy was aware of or capable of applying the latest mathematical techniques. For example, there is evidence of a monk in northern France in the twelfth century positioning stars relative to architectural landmarks in his monastery, such as the windows along the dormitory wall.
