The Catechetical Lectures of St. Cyril

St. Cyril’s life of some 70 years, placed in the very center of the fourth century, epitomizes much that was characteristic of both Jerusalem and the century. Bishop of Jerusalem for nearly 40 years, he experienced three expulsions from his see, these due as much to politico-ecclesiastical rivalry as to his participation in the contemporary theological controversies, in which Cyril played an important and still disputed role. This volume contains Cyril’s 23 Catechetical Lectures. They are written in an informal tone in contrast to the rigid and scientific tone similar lectures often took. They resonate with pastoral love and warmth and are filled with scripture. Cyril’s lectures are an excellent model of early Christian instruction and liturgy.
