Cyril's life of some seventy years, placed in the very center of the fourth century, epitomizes much that was characteristic of the period and the locale. The present volume carries about half of the bishop's most valuable production, a series of catechetical lectures for Lent and Easter week.The introductory lecture (the Procatechesis) admitted the catechumens to the instructions to follow. Bishop of Jerusalem for nearly forty years, he experienced three expulsions from his see, these due as much to politico-ecclesiastical rivalry as to his participation in the contemporary theological controversies, in which Cyril played an important and still disputed role.
