Book Description
What were the historical and cultural processes by which Cyril of Alexandria was elevated to canonical status while his opponent, Nestorius, bishop of Constantinople, was made into a heretic? In contrast to previous scholarship, Susan Wessel concludes that Cyril's success in being elevated to orthodox status was not simply a political accomplishment based on political alliances he had fashioned as opportunity arose. Nor was it a dogmatic victory, based on the clarity and orthodoxy of Cyril's doctrinal claims. Instead, it was his strategy in identifying himself with the orthodoxy of the former bishop of Alexandria, Athanasius, in his victory over Arianism, in borrowing Athanasius' interpretive methods, and in skilfully using the tropes and figures of the second sophistic that made Cyril a saint in the Greek and Coptic Orthodox Churches.

Book Description
The historical analysis expounds the arguments of both sides, particularly the Christology of Cyril which was adopted as a standard. Many major texts are presented in new translations, some of which have never before appeared in English. These writings are essential reading in the history of the doctrine. The work will be an indispensable resource for all students of the period: theologians and Byzantinists.

Book Description
The Three Epistles of S. Cyril (the Commencement of the new edition of that portion of his works which it is hoped will contain his writings relating to the Council of Ephesus) are here published by themselves for the use of the Theological School. They differ from S. Cyril’s other writings, in that they have come down to us, like the Tome of Pope S. Leo, with the sanction of (one or more) Occumenical1 Councils and are consequently, these being the Act of the whole Church, binding on the whole Church. The former of the two Letters to Nestorius was read at the very opening of the Council of Ephesus, immediately after the recitation of the Nicene Creed (Actio prima initio t. iii. col. 1008 ed. Coleti). Aeterna Press

For the first time in English, this ACT volume translates Cyril of Alexandria's surviving New Testament commentaries. Abounding with insights from one of the most significant figures of the early church, these commentaries explore themes such as the triune nature of God, Christ's sacrificial death, and justification, and are essential tools for understanding Cyril's reading of Holy Scripture.

Book Description
Twenty-nine in all, these letters cover all but three of Cyril's years as a bishop. The first twelve were published in 2009 (Fathers of the Church 118). The present volume completes the set. Festal letters were used in Alexandria primarily to announce the beginning of Lent and the date of Easter. They also served a catechetical purpose, however, allowing the Patriarch an annual opportunity to write pastorally not just about issues facing the entire see, but also about the theological issues of the day. Thus, in these letters we catch a glimpse of Cyril the pastor writing about complex theology in an uncomplicated way. These letters also illuminate other realities of the ancient church in Alexandria, especially the relationship with the Jewish community and the rising influence of asceticism.

Book Description
The formula ‘one incarnate nature of the Word of God’ has often been depicted as a summary of Cyril of Alexandria’s (ca 378-444) christology. But no systematic study into his christological works has been published. Besides, there is no consensus regarding the meaning of the key terms and expressions in these works. This book addresses this deficiency by an integral investigation of the archbishop’s christological writings during the first two years of the Nestorian controversy, and comes to the conclusion that his christology is basically dyophysite. This re-appraisal of his christology bears on the understanding of the Council of Chalcedon and on contemporary ecumenical relations, especially those between the Eastern Orthodox and the Oriental Orthodox.
