St Cyril’s is delighted to congratulate faculty member the [**Very Rev. Dr Doru Costache**](https://stcyrils.edu.au/faculty/doru-costache) on his recent promotion to **Associate Professor** within the Sydney College of Divinity, and also on the publication of his newest book, [**_Humankind and the Cosmos: Early Christian Representations_**](https://brill.com/view/title/60404) (Brill 2021). Fr Doru is a leading scholar of patristics and teaches courses on patristic theology, including patristic readings of Genesis 1–3, the ancient School of Alexandria, as well as focused units on St Athanasius and St Clement of Alexandria.

We pray that God continues to bless his research and teaching for many years to come.
