About this book
Cyril of Alexandria stands as one of the most influential theologians in Christian history, and his masterwork *That Christ Is One* reveals why his voice shaped centuries of Christian doctrine. As the leading defender of Nicene orthodoxy, Cyril engaged in the pivotal Christological controversies that defined the early Church between the councils of Constantinople and Chalcedon. This profound religious text addresses the fundamental question of Christ's nature through rigorous theological argumentation, challenging the teachings of Nestorius and defending the traditional understanding of Mary as the Mother of God—a title that became central to orthodox Christian practice.
Written in the context of intense theological debate, Cyril's work inherits the philosophical sophistication of the Cappadotian fathers while responding directly to the challenges of his era. Though he never witnessed the Council of Chalcedon, his formulations became so essential that they profoundly influenced both the council's decisions and the entire trajectory of Christian thought that followed.
This audiobook is ideal for students of early Church history, theologians, and anyone seeking to understand the intellectual foundations of Christian doctrine. Whether you're exploring ancient Christian classics or deepening your knowledge of patristic theology, Cyril's compelling defense of orthodox Christology remains remarkably relevant and intellectually stimulating.
