Cyril, the 75th Coptic Patriarch, was a controversial figure who was judged for simony by his own bishops in an official synod. Despite his failure to promote auricular confession during his lifetime, the widespread distribution of his treatise had a significant impact on the practice's adoption. The Book of Confession is well attested in the manuscript tradition. The vast inventory of manuscripts attests to its popularity among diverse Christian denominations throughout the Middle East. Undoubtedly, it has been a highly influential text in the formation of spiritual life and penitential theology in the Middle Ages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword  Preface  Acknowledgements  Abbreviations  List of Figures  Introduction    1 Cyril ibn Laqlaq: Life and Work   1 Ministry of Cyril ibn Laqlaq   2 Literary Corpus of Cyril ibn Laqlaq   3 Conclusion    2 Book of Confession: Literary Analysis   1 Classification of Manuscripts   2 Authorship   3 Primary Resources   4 Composition and Structure   5 Conclusion    Critical Edition and Translation    Notes on the Critical Edition    Abbreviations    Prologue    Contents    Chapters    Appendix 1: Glossary of Terms  Appendix 2: Biblical Quotations and References  Bibliography  Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210863108439,"sku":"9789004540668","price":183.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/cyril-ibn-laqlaq-s-book-of-confession-a-critical-edition-and-annotated-translation-with-an-introduction-9789004540668","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
