Who

Head of the catechetical school of Alexandria and the teacher of Origen, a convert who set out to show the educated Greek that Christ is the true philosophy. The Exhortation to the Greeks, the Instructor and the Stromata (Miscellanies) form his great trilogy, with the homily Who is the Rich Man that is Saved? He is one of the earliest writers to record the tradition that Mary was found to be a virgin still after giving birth.
