St Cyril, Bishop of Alexandria, and pastoral care

Journal article

Authors	Allen, Pauline
Abstract	Scholars generally concur that St Cyril of Alexandria was more an exegete, polemicist, and politician, rather than a pastor. The question to be asked here, then, is whether Cyril was not interested primarily in the pastoral aspects of his episcopal role; whether the evidence of his pastoral involvement is simply too difficult to discover or assemble from his numerous exegetical and polemical works; or whether his role as pastor has been neglected by scholars. This article takes as starting-points the bias of our ancient sources with regard to Cyril, and a recent study which draws on modem theories of pastoral care to outline the profile of the pastoral activities of a late-antique bishop. How does St Cyril measure up as a pastor?
