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.

Editorial Reviews
Review
“…an impressive collection of essays.… The essays in this volume require the reader to engage seriously with Cyril as a theologian and person of the church. It is highly recommended to the generalist and the specialist alike.” –Peter Widdicombe, Anglican Theological Review, Vol. 86, No. 3, Summer 2004 (Anglican Theological Review )
“McGuckin demonstrates convincingly that if Cyril is considered as a churchman of late ancient Alexandria, he stands out as an enormously gifted statesmen who acted from an awareness of his responsibility to his community. Other particularly impressive contributions to the book include Boulnois’ and Daley’s chapters…I imagine Cyril would be gratified at least to find his writings taken seriously after so many centuries.” - 2004 (Reviews In Religion and Theology )
"This collection of essays is a welcome response to a pressing lack in historical theology; the contributors have all earned the right to participate in such a project, and their contributions do not disappoint in any particular. This collection will be of interest to those who are new to Cyril, and will provide for them a reliable overview and orientation to Cyril's works and theology. However, these essays are helpful not only in their provision of a clear survey and trustworthy advancement of Cyrilline scholarship, but also in pointing out possible new directions for students of Cyril, by highlighting the many areas which remain in need of serious study and by providing helpful trajectories along which such study may be oriented. This is an admirable collection of essays which deserves to be widely read, and which hopefully provoke a renewed interest in a great theologian and exegete, Cyril of Alexandria." --Shawn W.J. Keough, Faculty of Theology, University of St. Michael's College
'recommended to anyone who wishes to dig deeper into the thought of one of the Church's most influential fathers' (Brian Gaybba Journal Of Theology For Southern Africa )
