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 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?

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.

A retrospective tour of the Preparatory Teaching Before setting off through Psalm 1, a recap of the themes and principles of Hilary's Preparatory Teaching seems to be in order.

It’s been a while since I finished translating the Instructio and I never wrote my own commentary into those posts. So here’s a recap of its content before my Psalm 1 series begins in two weeks!

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.

The PDFs as of now don’t have all the footnoting and cross-referencing I’d like them to include eventually, but the texts themselves are complete. I’ll let y’all know here when I update the PDFs with more footnotes.

In Progress Here are the most recent installments of my ongoing translation projects. These are blog entries, so the comments sections are open to all readers, and your questions and feedback are highly encourage...

These PDFs collect the translations from my individual blog posts, sometimes slightly edited. For the Treatise on the Mysteries, you’ll still need to visit the blog posts for my personal commentary. All those are collected here:

@cmeeks.bsky.social thank you so much! It’s a passion project that I’m fitting in as my work and family schedules allow, so I just hope whatever progress I can make will be helpful to the community.
