Commentary on the Gospel of John, Book 2

by Cyril of Alexandria

Cyril of Alexandria's 'Commentary on the Gospel of John' is a foundational work of Christian theology. Book 2, covering John 1:29-5:34, delves into crucial themes such as the identity of Christ, the relationship between the divine and human natures, and the significance of baptism and miracles. Cyril's commentary is characterized by its meticulous analysis of the text, its rigorous defense of orthodox doctrines, and its emphasis on the practical implications of John's teachings for Christian life. He engages with various interpretations of the Gospel, refutes heretical views, and offers a systematic exposition of key theological concepts. This volume serves as a valuable resource for scholars and theologians seeking to understand the early church's interpretation of John's Gospel and the development of Christian doctrine.
