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. The present volume carries about half of the bishop's most valuable production, a series of catechetical lectures for Lent and Easter week.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe introductory lecture (the\u003ci\u003e Procatechesis\u003c\/i\u003e) admitted the catechumens to the instructions to follow. Of these, the \u003ci\u003eCatecheses\u003c\/i\u003e proper, the first twelve appear in this first volume, the remaining six, with the five Mystogogical Lectures (for Easter Week), to come in Volume 2. The conferences are based firmly in the sacraments and in the successive articles of the Creed. It is upon the Creed and the various forms of it with which Cyril was involved that much of the extended Introduction centers. Cyril's body of catechetical lectures, which has been called \"one of the most precious treasures of Christian antiquity,\" can make a telling contribution to the catechetical renewal within the Church of today and to the study and devotion of clergy and layfolk alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cyril Of Jerusalem\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Catholic University of America Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813214313","brand":"Catholic University of America Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40618876797043,"sku":"9.78081E+12","price":59.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_83b27059-978b-4607-92db-6146d3f6a9bc.jpg?v=1670424571","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/the-works-of-saint-cyril-of-jerusalem-procatechesis-and-catecheses-1-12-9780813214313","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
