'Scholia on the Incarnation of the Only-Begotten' Summary
The "Scholia on the Incarnation of the Only-Begotten by Cyril of Alexandria" is a collection of thirty-seven short articles by Cyril of Alexandria (died 444 AD) that discuss the nature of Christ. Written at various times between 429 and 439 AD and collected together at the request of Eulogius, a priest from Palestine, these articles were intended to provide a concise and accessible summary of Cyril's views on the incarnation of the Son of God as the incarnate second person of the Trinity. Cyril's christology is a classic statement of the orthodox doctrine, and his writings have been highly influential in the development of Christian doctrine on the nature of Christ. He was a strong advocate of the hypostatic union, the idea that the divine and human natures of Christ are united in one person without mixture or confusion. This doctrine was later enshrined in the Definition of Chalcedon (451 AD), which remains the authoritative statement of Christian Christology to this day. In these articles, Cyril defends the orthodox doctrine of the incarnation against a variety of heresies, including Nestorianism and Apollinarianism. He argues that Christ is both fully divine and fully human, and that his two natures are united without confusion or division. He also discusses the implications of the incarnation for our understanding of salvation and the Trinity. The "Scholia on the Incarnation of the Only-Begotten by Cyril of Alexandria" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian doctrine or in the nature of Christ. Cyril's writings are a clear and concise exposition of the orthodox doctrine of the incarnation, and they continue to be studied and debated by theologians today.Book Details
