Jarred A Mercer

Divine Perfection and Human Potentiality

The Trinitarian Anthropology of Hilary of Poitiers

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The place of Hilary of Poitiers in the debates and developments of early Christianity is tenuous in contemporary scholarship. In this book, Jarred A. Mercer makes a case for understanding Hilary not only as an important historical figure, but as a significant and independent thinker. Divine Perfection and Human Potentiality offers a new paradigm for understanding Hilary's work De Trinitate as a trinitarian anthropology.
