LENTEN LECTURES
(Katecheseis)
XIII-XVIII
Translated by

FOREWORD TO CATECHESES 13-18
HESE LECTURES DEAL with the Crucifixion and Burial of .
Christ (13), His Resurrection, Ascension and Sitting . with the Father (14), His coming as Judge of the living and the dead, of whose kingdom there will be no end (15).
Two lectures are devoted to the Holy Spirit (16-17), and the pre-baptismal Catecheses close with a discourse on the Holy
Catholic Church, the Resurrection of the flesh, and life everlasting. The profusion of Scripture texts is even more marked than in the preceding Catecheses. Cyril's own words (13.8)' help to explain this emphasis on inspired testimony: "For everything that concerns Christ has been written; there is nothing doubtful, since nothing is unattested. All has been inscribed in prophetic records, clearly written . . . by the Holy Spirit." The accommodation of Scripture texts is often forced and sometimes even strange, and one may doubt whether Cyril's listening audience could follow the evolution of his thought. It is possible also that corruption in the manuscript tradition has been responsible for some of the difficulties in the text.
The Greek text used for the first twelve Catecheses has been used also for the last six-that of Reischl and Rupp
(Munich 1848-60); and, as before, when the Greek of Cyril's biblical quotations does not require adaptation or new wording, the English renderings of Scripture are taken from the version published under the patronage of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine.
