THEOPHILUS OF
ALEXANDRIA
If Theophilus of Alexandria seems a minor figure to us today, it is
because we persist in seeing him through the eyes of hostile con-
temporary witnesses, each of whom had his own reasons for dimin-
ishing Theophilus’ stature. In fact, he was one of the greatest bishops
of the Theodosian era, who played an important role in a crucial phase
of the Roman Empire’s transformation into a Christian society.
Norman Russell’s new assessment of Theophilus shows him as
an able theologian, an expert ecclesiastical lawyer, a highly skilled
orator and, surprisingly, a spiritual teacher. The introductory section
examines his efforts to Christianize an Egypt still dominated by its
great temples, and his battles to maintain the pre-eminence of the
Alexandrian Church in an age of rapid change. The texts, most of
them translated into a modern language for the first time, reveal the
full power and range of his thinking.
Theophilus of Alexandria brings back into focus a figure who has
been long neglected in the study of early Christianity and will
provide students and lecturers with a fresh perspective, not least
through the translation of texts, for the first time, into English.
Norman Russell was educated at the Universities of London and
Oxford. He is an independent scholar whose publications include
Cyril of Alexandria (2000) in the Early Church Fathers series and
The Doctrine of Deification in the Greek Patristic Tradition (2004).

THE EARLY CHURCH FATHERS
Edited by Carol Harrison
University of Durham

1
The Greek and Latin fathers of the Church are central to the creation
of Christian doctrine, yet often unapproachable because of the sheer
volume of their writings and the relative paucity of accessible trans-
lations. This series makes available translations of key selected texts
by the major Fathers to all students of the Early Church.
