Summary

Hilary of Poitiers is widely held to have combined his two separate theological works, De Fide and Adversus Arianos, to create his monumental De Trinitate. Carl L. Beckwith examines why - and when - this revision occurred, situating the text in its historical and theological context as part of a broader re-mapping of fourth-century Trinitarian debates.

Hilary of Poitiers on the Trinity by Carl Beckwith

Hilary of Poitiers is widely held to have combined his two separate theological works, De Fide and Adversus Arianos, to create his monumental De Trinitate. Carl L. Beckwith examines why - and when - this revision occurred, situating the text in its historical and theological context as part of a broader re-mapping of fourth-century Trinitarian debates.
Beckwith responds to the text well and picks up verbal hints and correspondences with a sharp eye for detail that evokes trust* Lionel Wickham, Journal of Ecclesiastical History *
In Beckwith's hands, the think woods of Hilary's dogmatic contributions become more navigable than they had been previously. ... Theological scholars interested in Hilary as a pro-Nicine resource, both in the fourth century and now, will want to consider his proposals. * Kellen Plaxco, Scottish Journal of Theology *
