Cyril of Alexandria: The Early Church Fathers

Autor Norman Russell
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 apr 2000
As a ruler of the church of Alexander and president of the Third Ecumenical Council of 431, Cyril was one of the most powerful men of the fifth century. Not only did he define the concept of christological orthodoxy for the next two centuries, but he is also often regarded as an unscrupulous cleric who was responsible for the murder of the female philosopher Hypatia and for the overthrow of the archbishop Nestorius.
Cyril of Alexandria presents key selections of Cyril's writings in order to make his thought accessible to students. The writings are all freshly translated and an extended introduction outlines Cyril's life and times, his scholastic method, his christology, his ecclesiology, his eucharistic doctrine, his spirituality, and his influence on the Christian tradition.

Recenzii

'A professional and enlightening piece of work.' - David Taylor, Reviews in Religion and Theology

'This excellent piece of patristic scholarship, which balances subtlety and accuracy with coherence and brevity, is concluded by a comprehensive bibliography and wide-ranging yet disciplined notes.' - Maxine West, Theology

'... Russsell's volume on Cyril of Alexandria is a fitting addition to The Early Church Fathers series ... All-in-all, a well-structured tool, full of sound information ... and translations which convey the quality of his work accurately and with sympathy.' - Wendy Meyer, Journal of Religious History

'A balanced and approachable introduction to the work of a man ahose thought was central to the shaping of the theology and piety of Eastern Christianity.' - Studies in World Christianity
'Norman Russell's book offers the reader an excellent opportunity to read one of the most subtle theologians of the Early Church. The translations are lively and accurate, and the author has sensitively (and generously) chosen what to offer in the light of what has already been made available by other modern translations of Cyril's opera. The result is that, with the appearence of the book, the student can gain access, for the first time, to an example of most of Cyril's important writings in an English version. Norman Russell is to be congratulated for his achievement.' -
