Description:

St Cyril of Alexandria is one of the greatest Fathers of the 5th century, well known for his contributions to the Christological debates concerning Nestorius, but his scriptural commentaries are less well known, and are harder to obtain in English translation. This commentary is especially important because it allows us to gain an insight into St Cyril’s theology through the medium of his writing about the Gospel of St John. This translation of the Commentary on the Gospel of St John by Sy Cyril of Alexandria was first published in 1874 and was translated by P.E. Pusey.

Although Pusey's translation offers a few challenges, being a sort of Victorian version of Elizabeathan English, St. Cyril's words come shining through, and it is wonderful to have this available in book form. Quite simply one of the great classics of Christian literature.
