A fascinating glimpse into the life of one of the Early Church Fathers, his defence of orthodox theology, and how his Christ–centredness has shaped the faith of the Church. Cyril of Alexandria (c. 376 – 444 AD) was a towering figure in early Christianity, renowned for his theological prowess and leadership as the Patriarch of Alexandria. Born into a prominent Christian family, Cyril received a comprehensive education in theology and philosophy, which equipped him for his future role as a defender of orthodox Christian doctrine. Daniel Hames unpacks Cyril’s tenure as Patriarch, marked by significant theological controversies, notably his fierce defense of the divinity of Christ against the teachings of Nestorius, culminating in the Council of Ephesus in 431 AD. Cyril played a pivotal role in condemning Nestorianism and affirming the doctrine of the hypostatic union – the belief in the union of Christ’s divine and human natures in one person. Cyril’s legacy endures as one of the most influential figures in the development of Christological doctrine, shaping the theological landscape of Christianity for centuries to come. Contents: Series Preface A Chronology of Cyril’s Life Foreword 1. The Man, the Myth, the Legend 2. The Nestorian Controversy 3. Who is Jesus? 4. Who is God? 5. What is Salvation? 6. Chalcedon and Beyond Afterword Hames begins with some history and biography of Cyril before setting up the dynamics of the controversy with Nestorius. The chapters on Jesus, God and salvation are a look into Cyril’s theology, especially in the light of the battle he was fighting. The final chapter and afterword survey his influence on the church immediately after his lifetime and highlight some of the ways we might turn to Cyril today as we navigate the question and debates of our own time. • Early Church Fathers series: edited by Michael A. G. Haykin and Shawn J. Wilhite, this series relates the magnificent impact that those fathers of the early church had on our world today • Extra Features: a chronology of Cyril’s life, including key councils held in the years following his death • Theologically Instructive: helps us understand the importance of applying correct Christology
