All-in-all, a well-structured tool, full of sound information ... and translations which convey the quality of his work accurately and with sympathy.' - Wendy Meyer, Journal of Religious History

'Norman Russell's book offers the reader an excellent opportunity to read one of the most subtle theologians of the Early Church. The translations are lively and accurate, and the author has sensitively (and generously) chosen what to offer in the light of what has already been made available by other modern translations of Cyril's opera. The result is that, with the appearence of the book, the student can gain access, for the first time, to an example of most of Cyril's important writings in an English version. Norman Russell is to be congratulated for his achievement.' -
