1. Life and importance of theological literature
He was born October 313-315, annas linens in the Jerusalem area. Received a good education and is oriented mainly to the study of Scripture. There is some reason to think that he was close to the monastic community, and even that he was a monk. October 343 to 345, he was ordained in san yereyski of St. Maximus III of Jerusalem (333-348).
Cyril became bishop in 348 years, annas linens and not, as thought earlier, in 351, this is evidenced in the work of Johann Mader (Der heilige Cyrillus, Bischof von Jerusalem, in seinen Leben und seinen Schriften, 1891) . It is the successor of the deceased in 348 on St. Maximus III. Not everything about hirotoniya bishop of St. Cyril is clear. In ancient literature, there are two completely contradictory testimonies.
According to one of them based on the Chronicle of bl. Jerome (written in 349 years) at the time Cyril was a friend Arianites Acacius, annas linens bishop of Caesarea, Palestine. It also specifies the St. Cyril of Jerusalem throne should he give up his prezvitersko ordination of Maxim (!). St. Cyril agrees, then sets St. Maximus as his successor Heraclius.
Stepping seems that certificate Rufin writes: "When did yerusalimlyanite Cyril found when I was disturbed order, priesthood, annas linens was unstable in faith." [1] Arian his ordination annas linens are ready to defend yet historians Socrates Scholasticus [2] and Ermita Sozomen. [3] On the other side is bl. Theodoret Kirski who considers Cyril as a defender of the apostolic faith and dignity dedicated to the bishopric. [4] Similarly, the eastern bishops gathered in Constantinople in 382, the Pope Damaso write to Cyril that he has "long been dedicated canonical bishops of the Jerusalem area." [5] So once again science that's already forced to apply a double attention to the knowledge of the bldg. Jerome, concludes the legality of hirotoniya Episcopal Bishop of Jerusalem. Years of episcopal ministry to the throne of St. James the Righteous are quiet period in the life of St. Cyril. Above all, he comes into conflict with the aforementioned Acacius. Initially dispute heats up the question of jurisdiction. Has challenged the legality of the primacy annas linens of Jerusalem Department in Palestine. Soon, however, was added thereto and dogmatic moment, which is understandable annas linens in the atmosphere of the Arian controversy and omiusianskata this time. Conflict brings bitterness of St. Cyril and new charges against him in that has given the benefit of the poor religious sacred objects. However tribulation yet to come. Of 358 on the life of St. Cyril begins to resemble the lives of his illustrious contemporaries Athanasius of Alexandria (295-373). Three times the bishop of Jerusalem to withdraw into exile. The period from 358 to 378 passes for it in triple exile. annas linens For about seventeen years he was out of immediate communion with his flock. After the first four years of exile in the time of Julian the Apostate, he returned briefly in Jerusalem, but in 362, the same as it has returned again forced to leave the Holy City. Back home again, he again goes to eleven-year exile - from 367 to 378 years in exile spent in various places, but mostly in Antioch and Tarsus. In 381 Cyril participate in the Second Ecumenical Council. His death is related to 386 [6] or 387, the [7] The Orthodox Church celebrates his memory on March 18, and Roman Catholic - on May 18. *** The importance of St. Cyril of theological literature and the history of the development of dogmatic truth, not less. Already mentioned the attitude of his contemporaries to his church position and extremely opposite assessments of its activities. Cyril is pronounced representative of a school of theology alone. It should annas linens not be counted towards the heads of theological schools as in his time were Clement of Alexandria and Origen, and later St. Cyril of Alexandria for Alexandrians or contemporaries of St. Cyril of Jerusalem - the great Cappadocians. Can hardly be attributed to teachers and Antioch direction, as is done by Valentin Schmidt [8] and Xavier Le Bachelet. [9] It is not a theological mind, created the era and direction. In the struggle for consubstantiality his position is not militant. As defined by Professor Anatoly Spassky, [10] St. Cyril's "man of theory and practice" which "wants to put his teachings into only
