MaxwellCyril of Alexandria (ca. 378-444), one of the most brilliant representatives of the Alexandrian theological tradition, is best known for championing the term Theotokos (God-bearer) in opposition to Nestorius of Constantinople.

PaperbackThe Prophecy of Isaiah

Lamentations powerfully expresses personal and national ...

"In its structure, ...
