Carl Beckwith

Hilary of Poitiers on the Trinity

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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.
