Hilary of Poitiers (c300-368), Bishop and Theologian, was
instrumental in shaping the development of pro-Nicene theology in
the West. Carl Beckwith engages the extensive scholarship on the
fourth-century Trinitarian debates and brings new light on the
structure and chronology of Hilary's monumental De Trinitate.
There is a broad scholarly consensus that Hilary combined two
separate theological works, a treatise on faith (De Fide) and a
treatise against the 'Arians' (Adversus Arianos), to create De
Trinitate. In spite of this the question of when and why Hilary
performed this task has largely remained unanswered. Beckwith
addresses this puzzle, situating Hilary's De Trinitate in its
historical and theological context and offering a close reading of
his text. He demonstrates that Hilary made significant revisions to
the early books of his treatise; revisions that he attempted to
conceal from his readers in order to give the impression of a
unified work on the Trinity.
Beckwith argues that De Fide was written in 356 following Hilary's
condemnation at the synod of Beziers and prior to receiving a
decision on his exile from the Emperor. When Hilary arrived in
exile, he wrote a second work, Adversus Arianos. Following the
synod of Sirmium in 357 and his collaboration with Basil of Ancyra
in early 358, Hilary recast his efforts and began to write De
Trinitate. He decided to incorporate his two earlier works, De Fide
and Adversus Arianos, into this project. Toward that end, he
returned to his earlier works and drastically revised their content
by adding new prefaces and new theological and exegetical material
to reflect his mature pro-Nicene theology. Beckwith provides a
compelling case for the nature of these radical revisions, crucial
textual alterations that have never before been acknowledged in the
scholarship on De Trinitate."
