Abba Kyrillos: Patriarch and Solitary

Abba Kyrillos: Patriarch and Solitary is a free eBook by Dr John Watson, a well-balanced biography of Pope Kyrillos VI for everyone who loves this saint, including those who knew him.

Most of the many books about Pope Kyrillos deal with his miracles or with one of his ascetic virtues. This biography looks at him from several angles, as both patriarch and solitary. Those who knew Pope Kyrillos will enjoy seeing him alive again in its pages.

Since 1981, Dr Watson has worked hard for the Coptic Church. Out of love for her, he studied her history, theology and spirituality, her liturgy and language, and her icons. Before writing this book he made long visits to Egypt, living among the monks in their ancient monasteries, speaking with the highest ranks of the hierarchy and with the poorest Copts in the slums of Cairo, and visiting the historic churches.
