	The Writings of Cyril of Alexandria (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Cyril responded with a focussed insistence on the absolute oneness of the incarnate Christ: there is ever and only a single subject to the 'who' of the incarnate Word -- the 'Word made flesh', as indicated by John (Jn 1.14).
		In explaining this singular subjectivity, Cyril developed the Christological language of an hypostatic union by appropriation; that is, a union of natures at the level of hypostasis, or subsistent, existential reality, by which the eternal Logos appropriates to himself the fullness of true human life.
		Through this language of hypostatic union, Cyril was able to articulate a genuine union of natures which did not inculcate either nature in a merger or transformation (Nestorius' concern), whilst still maintaining the singular subjectivity of the incarnate Christ (as per Athanasius before him).

	Did St. Cyril kill Hypatia

		Cyril is responsible for defending the Dogma of the Trinity against Nestorias who just about won out in convincing the Church that the Human and Devine Nature of Jesus were separate.
		Without Cyril, it is doubtful that we Christianity today would understand the Trinity of God as three persons in One, and the unity of Christ's human and divine nature.
