A fourth century theologian of the Early Christian Church, Cyril of Jerusalem produced important writings documenting the instruction of catechumens and the order of the Liturgy. His celebrated ‘Catechetical Lectures’ were delivered in the basilica erected by Constantine at the site of Christ’s death and resurrection. They provide instructions on the principal topics of Christian faith and practice, in a popular rather than scientific manner, full of warm pastoral love. Cyril is venerated as a saint within the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodox Church, and the Anglican Communion. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, offering both English translations and the original Greek texts. This eBook presents Cyril’s complete works, with illustrations and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
