📱 eBook en inglés COMMENTARY ON JOHN

Cyril of Alexandria (ca. 378-444), one of the most brilliant representatives of the Alexandrian theological tradition, is best known for championing the term Theotokos (mother of God) in opposition to Nestorius of Constantinople. Cyrils great Commentary on John, offered here in the Ancient Christian Text series in two volumes, predates the Nestorian controversy, however, and focuses its theological fire power against Arianism. The commentary, which is addressed to catechists, displays Cyrils breath-taking mastery of the full content of the Bible and his painstaking attention to detail as he seeks to offer practical teaching on the cosmic story of Gods salvation.

David Maxwell provides readers with the first complete English translation of the text since the nineteenth century. It rests on Puseys critical edition of the Greek text and puts on display Cyrils theological interpretation of Scripture and his appeal to the patristic tradition that preceded him. Todays readers will find the commentary an indispensable tool for understanding Cyrils approach to Scripture.
