Russell's book offers the reader an excellent opportunity to read
one of the most subtle theologians of the Early Church. The
translations are lively and accurate, and the author has
sensitively (and generously) chosen what to offer in the light of
what has already been made available by other modern translations
of Cyril's opera. The result is that, with the appearence of the
book, the student can gain access, for the first time, to an
example of most of Cyril's important writings in an English
version. Norman Russell is to be congratulated for his
achievement.' -
