Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Commentary on the Gospel According to S. John, Vol. 1
The Commentary on S. John has usually been re garded as S. Cyril's great work. Its special value lies in its being the well-weighed enunciation of dogma Of one whose mind had long and deeply meditated on the Faith. Our belief on the Holy trinity, on the Union Of the Godhead and Manhood in christ, on the Holy Eucharist1 as the means Of our Union with Him, our free-will and consequent reward or Doom, are clearly and carefully stated and enforced. That effect of the Union and intimate relation of the God head with our nature in god the son in imparting to the whole of our clay a new quickening life and strength, which has been so strikingly brought for ward by a deep thinker in our day 2, will be found frequently spoken Of in this Commentary as one Of the results of the Incarnation.
