Description
Summary:The present dissertation on Hilary of Poitiers' understanding of theology explores a neglected part of research in our knowledge of the Fathers' theology. The study discusses Hillary's views on theology as they appear in his different writings' and brings together his insights under the headings of Cognitio Dei, Fidei Intelligentia and Dicti Ratio. The first part deals with Hilary's ideas on natural knowledge of God and the possibilities of our human understanding and language in relation to transcendent divine realities. The central part looks at the knowledge given in faith and how according to Hilary the human mind may appropriate and reflect on the same. Finally, Hilary's views on scriptural and theological language are considered.
