Cyril of Alexandria is best known for his teaching on Christ (Christology). Beginning with the wider soteriological framework for Cyril's teaching on Christ, this study will first establish the core principles and then move to consider contested and controversial aspects of Cyril's Christology. By drawing attention to Cyril's frequent statements that the Incarnate Christ acts both "as man" (as a human being) and "as God", I will offer support for there being two active natures in Cyril's view of Christ and will propose that Cyril's Christ acting "as man" opens the way for recognizing the specific human activity of Christ that is intended as a model for human imitation. The study will conclude with considerations on the wider ecumenical impact of Cyril's Christological doctrine
