If Theophilus of Alexandria seems a minor figure today, it is
because we persist in seeing him through the eyes of hostile
contemporary witnesses, each of whom had his own reasons for
diminishing 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 denominated 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. Thoephilus of Alexandria brings back into focus a figure
who has long been 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.
