Overview
There is no book in English that treats the whole of Cyril's theological thought. In the past scholars have normally focused on Cyril's Christology and left largely unexamined the remainder of his theological thought. Thus the English-speaking scholarly community has never fully appreciated the breadth, the depth and the immense significance of Cyril's theology. This book is therefore unique. The editors have brought together many of the foremost experts on Cyril. This international team examines all the major facets of his theology, and here for the first time reveals the theology of Cyril of Alexandria as a magisterial whole.

Reviews
This collection of essays is a welcome responseto a pressing lack in historical theology; the contributors have all earned theright to participate in such a project, and their contributions do notdisappoint in any particular. This collection will be of interest to those whoare new to Cyril, and will provide for them a reliable overview and orientationto Cyril's works and theology. However, these essays are helpful not only intheir provision of a clear survey and trustworthy advancement of Cyrillinescholarship, but also in pointing out possible new directions for students ofCyril, by highlighting the many areas which remain in need of serious study andby providing helpful trajectories along which such study may be oriented. Thisis an admirable collection of essays which deserves to be widely read, andwhich hopefully provoke a renewed interest in a great theologian and exegete, Cyril of Alexandria. -Shawn W.J. Keough, Faculty of Theology, University ofSt. Michael's College
... Here are welcome and expert introductions.... Debate about Cyril's undoubtedly powerful Christology will continue, with this collection an important widely-based contribution. --Sanford Lakoff Expository Times
