| Summary: | This modestly sized volume represents a painstakingly revised edition of the author's doctoral dissertation at Fordham University under Joseph T. Lienhard, SJ. Hildebrand's aim is to reconcile the Basil who studied in Athens and appealed to Hellenistic philosophy in order to formulate his trinitarian theology with the Basil whom Hildebrand aptly describes as a ‘bibliocentrist’ (p. 9). In contrast to William Tieck, who argued that Basil's use of philosophy was ‘unwilling and unwitting’, Hildebrand sees Basil as deliberately employing his secular studies in his theological project. |
