| Summary: | This book is about how Cyril came to enjoy the esteem of his contemporaries and of the Church Catholic afterwards and about how Nestorius incurred a corresponding disapprobation. The book is divided into three parts. The first (‘The tapestry of Cyril's episcopacy from Egypt to the Imperial City’) deals with Cyril's years before the controversy and takes the story down to the meeting of the Council of Ephesus in 431. Part II (‘The Rhetoric of the Nestorian Debates’) looks at the style and scope of Cyril's sermons at the Council and at Nestorius’ rhetorical and interpretative method. Part III (‘Cyril emerges as a saint in the Byzantine Church’) takes the tale down from 431 to the Council of Chalcedon. |
