What does the second epistle, 2 Clement, appear to be?

  • A personal letter

  • A church decree

  • A homily by another author

  • A gospel

Answer

2 Clement appears to be a homily, a religious discourse or sermon, delivered by an author other than Clement of Rome. Although traditionally attributed to Clement, scholars now largely view it as a separate work composed later in the 2nd century. The homily addresses various moral and ethical topics, such as Christian conduct, repentance, faith, and the importance of following God's commandments.
