St. Cyril of Alexandria - Exegete of Scripture

Summary/Abstract: St. Cyril of Alexandria was not only a great theologian, but also a great interpreter of Scripture books. In fact he made a profound theological exegesis exegetical and theological. Not intended to be original, as were heretics, but sought to summarize the experience of the Church. What was thought not to have written to him, or what they wrote some Church Fathers wrote Cyril confession to strengthen the true faith. This explains the inconsistency to the allegorical method so dear Cyril Alexandrians before. In the context of the assertion of so many heresies, how so, there was enough allegory but had said the word, with all countries, even in the Old Testament. Many Old Testament types, so ignored the letter and shadow guardians of the law reveals the Light of Christ even more than people living in the hope of the coming Messiah. More accurate are comments New Testament books. Christ is thus described in terms of a spiritual man, a man who lives the mystery of Christ in his own life, as he had done great Paul, Apostle to the Gentiles: "it is no longer I that live, but Christ lives in me" (Gal. 2 20).
