Nice one, Cyril!

COMMENTARIES ON ROMANS,
1-2 CORINTHIANS, AND HEBREWS
By
Cyril of Alexandria
Translated by David R. Maxwell
Edited by Joel C. Elowsky
Inter Varsity Press (Academic).
142 pages. £37.50
ISBN 978 0 830 829 187 

Cyril of Alexandria writing about the author of the Letter to the Hebrews says: ‘He has an erudite way of doing exegesis, and it is constructed with great subtlety and skill.’

Cyril could almost have been writing about his own elegant style. Cyril is better known for his role in the key Christological debates of the fifth century. That he is not better known as a Biblical commentator is partly the result of few of these being available in English. It is, therefore, a treat to have this slim volume containing fragmentary commentaries on four letters from the New Testament.
