Bøker i The Fathers of the Church-serien

Rufinus of Aquileia's History of the Church, published in 402 or 403, is a translation and continuation of that of Eusebius of Caesarea. Eusebius's history tells the story of Christianity from its beginning down to the year 325; Rufinus carries the story forward to, the year of the death of Theodosius I.

Cyril of Alexandria's contributions to theology are not confined to his prominent role in the fifth-century christological conflict, but are also vital to the development of biblical exegesis. Drawing insights from older contemporaries, Cyril examines in depth the historical contexts of prophetic texts.

Twenty-nine in all, these letters cover all but three of Cyrils years as a bishop. The first twelve were published in 2009 (Fathers of the Church 118). The present volume completes the set.
