New translation post at the blog!

We kick off Hilary’s treatise on Psalm 1 with the question, Who is the man of “blessed is the man”? Who can he *not* be? And why is Augustine so wrong about it?

TREATISE ON PSALM 1, p.1-4: Who is the man that will be blessed?
This week we launch into the Psalms themselves, as Hilary determines who the "blessed man" of Psalm 1 must be - and why Augustine of Hippo is manifestly wrong about it.

New post at the blog!

Today I begin an occasional series between Psalm treatises on which I explore the historical and doctrinal situations of Hilary’s polemical targets.

Today: Scotinus - er, Photinus.

I've been silent at the Sketches of Christ blog for a while, and today I've written a quick post explaining why.

Hilary doesn't play around, y'all.

But I'm getting back on the wagon and I'm looking forward to sharing my latest work with you!
