LECTURES ON THE CHRISTIAN SACRAMENTS by St. Cyril of Jerusalem

Description

These six lectures were delivered in Jerusalem in the middle of the fourth century. They belong to a period of rapid transition for the Church. Less than forty years prior, Christianity had been an illegal religion, the object of intense persecution; now it was the favored religion of the state. These lectures were given as catechetical instruction to the newly baptized. A rich source on the history and worship of the fourth century, these lectures remain instructive and inspirational. Paper.
