About the author

Cyril of Alexandria (Greek: Κύριλλος Ἀλεξανδρείας; c. 376 – 444) was the Patriarch of Alexandria from 412. to 444. He was enthroned when the city was at the height of its influence and power within the Roman Empire. Cyril wrote extensively and was a leading protagonist in the Christological controversies of the later 4th and 5th centuries. He was a central figure in the First Council of Ephesus in 431, which led to the deposition of Nestorius as Patriarch of Constantinople.

Cyril is counted among the Church Fathers and the Doctors of the Church, and his reputation within the Christian world has resulted in his titles Pillar of Faith and Seal of all the Fathers, but Theodosius II, the Roman Emperor, condemned him for behaving like a "proud pharaoh", and the Nestorian bishops at the Council of Ephesus declared him a heretic, labelling him as a "monster, born and educated for the destruction of the church."

Cyril is well-known due to his dispute with Nestorius and his supporter Patriarch John of Antioch, whom Cyril excluded from the Council of Ephesus for arriving late. He is also known for his expulsion of Novatians and Jews from Alexandria.

The Roman Catholic Church did not commemorate Saint Cyril in the Tridentine Calendar: it added his feast only in 1882, assigning to it the date of 9 February. The 1969 revision moved it to 27 June, considered to be the day of the saint's death, as celebrated by the Coptic Orthodox Church. The same date has been chosen for the Lutheran calendar. The Eastern Orthodox Church and Eastern Catholic Church celebrate his feast day on 9 June and also, together with Pope Athanasius I of Alexandria, on 18 January.

انتهيت من مجموعة الحوارات السبعة حول الثالوث -المجمعة في مجلد واحد
كم من الروحانية والانفتاح على الله ومعرفة الله غير عادي
حقًا ان كتابات كيرلس الاسكندري واثناسيوس لهي تاج كتابات الأباء مجتمعة
كتاب يُدرس ولا يُقرأ على عجل ويجب قرائته اكثر من مرة بتأني
اتمنى ان اعود إليه مرة اخرى في أقرب وقت

تقييم الحوار كله
هو من اروع الكتب الكتب التى كتبت عن موضوع الثالوث
غير ان الموضوع نفسه شيق الا ان الكاتب له عقلية رائعة وقدرة عجيبة على ايضاح الحقائق
من يقرا الكتاب كله مجمعا لابد ان يتعجب من قدرة القديس كيرلس الكبير على التحيديق فى الحقائق الالهية بمثل هذه الدقة ولا ينافسه فيها سوى القديس اثناسيوس الرسولى
فبساطة الحديث وقوته هى ما يتصف به الكتاب
هو كتاب يقرا مرات ومرات ويصبح مرجعا اساسيا لكل باحث فى موضوع الثالوث
لا يقدر عقل ان يستوعبه كله مرو واحدة بل لابد من دراسة دراسة مستفيضه حتى يعلق بذهنك بضع قطرات من شذاه
استمتعت بقراءته وتمنيت الا ينتهى ابدا
