Commentary on Isaiah

"In the exegesis, we see the true Cyril, not the "ecclesiastical thug" portrayed by critics of his later involvement in polemic and conciliar maneuvering. Through the clarity of Robert Charles Hill's translation, readers will also recognize the same exegetical and hermeneutical skills that Cyril demonstrated in his earlier commentary. Cyril takes seriously all details and facts of the Isaian text, remaining focused while unpacking the layers of imagery. Yet he readily admits that historia yields in importance to dianoia, and he can move readily to Christological and ecclesiological meanings."--BOOK JACKET.
