Hilary of Poitiers (d. ca. 368) was
one of the pioneers of Western Trinitarian theology. He was exiled
to the Greek East because of his stalwart commitment to Nicaea and
its creed. This time in exile in the East would sensitize him
to Greek theological perspectives and win him respect from the next
generation of pro-Nicenes for his heroic resistance.

Marius Victorinus (d. after 362) was a
North African rhetor who worked much of his career in Rome and, late
in life, converted to Christianity. His conversion would deeply impress
Augustine and be one of the catalysts of Augustine’s conversion (see
Confessions VIII). Victorinus brought a sophisticated
philosophical framework to his theology.

Ambrosiaster (fl., late 4th
cent.) composed two influential works and, in later centuries, these circulated under
Ambrose's name (scholars later dubbed him "Ambrosiaster" to
distinguish these works from Ambrose's genuine corpus). This unknown
author was active in Rome from the 360s to the mid-380s, roughly
contemporary with the reign of Pope Damasus. His works circulated in
the Latin West from an early date and
were quoted by Augustine, Jerome and Pelagius. Even
his contemporaries seem not to be sure who composed the works. Augustine, for instance,
misattributed Ambrosiaster’s commentary on the Pauline letters to
Ambrose in one case and to Hilary in another.

Rufinus of Aquileia (345-410) was
the great translator of the early Church. Fluent in Greek, he
translated a library of Greek theological and monastic works that
ended up serving Western Christians throughout the Middle Ages when
few knew any Greek. This include translations of Eusebius of
Caesarea’s History of the Church, Gregory of Nazianzus’
Theological Orations, and the anonymous History of the Monk
in Egypt. Rufinus famously clashed with his friend Jerome over
Origen, and in the process damaged his long-term reputation. Much
of what we still have of Origen’s work has been preserved thanks to
Rufinus’ translations of both Origen’s sermons (on Genesis, Exodus,
Leviticus, Numbers, Joshua, Judges), commentaries (on the Song of
Songs, Romans), as well as his (infamous) On First Principles
(De principiis).

Jerome (d. 420) was the greatest
biblical scholar of his day and won acclaim for his great
translation of the Bible into Latin, the so-called Vulgate. For all
his academic acumen, he was an exceptionally difficult personality
and spent his career engaged in often nasty battles with any who
came into his ambit. Most famous is his clash over Origen with his
longtime friend Rufinus. Jerome’s work is vast, the bulk being
biblical commentaries, but also important is his historical works
and hagiographies and letters

Ambrose of Milan (d. 397) was the
leading churchman of his day. He skillfully drew on and
popularized leading Greek theologians such as Origen and the
Cappadocian Fathers, alerting the Latin West to their ideas. His
brilliant preaching was on the central threads in the conversion of
Augustine. The Venerable Bede would later number him as one of
the four great Latin Fathers.
Texts: An older
edition of Ambrose’s works is found in J. Migne, Patrologia
Latina, vol. 14-17 (with some additional material in
Patrologia Latina Supplementum 1:569-620). A critical edition
of his works is Sancti Ambrosii Opera, Corpus Scriptorum
Ecclesiasticorum Latina (CSEL), vol. 32, 62, 64, 73, 78, 79, 82,

stressing how a given figure embodied one or another virtue. It was
precisely such preaching that so impressed Augustine and was a
factor in Augustine’s conversion. In this new study, Smith examines
Ambrose’s moral genius.

tracing the papacy from its beginnings to the fifth century. Eno
highlights the discrepancy between papal claims for jurisdiction and
the respectful independence of other churchmen, East and West.

Leo the Great (d. 464) is best known
for his critical contribution to the great debate on Christology
that exercised the best Christian minds of the 5th century.
His Tome shaped in decisive ways the Definition of the
Council of Chalceon and, in the process, ended up shaping orthodox
thinking about the person of Christ both in the Latin West and in
the Greek East ever since.
Texts:
The classic edition of Leo’s collected works is by Ballerini and is
reproduced in J. Migne, Patrologia Latina, vol. 54-56. Leo’s
most famous work is his Tome to Flavian, which played such a
crucial role at the Council of Chalcedon and in the shaping of
christological orthodoxy. It, therefore, routinely is reproduced in
collections associated with the ecumenical councils: E. Schwartz,
ed., Acta Conciliorum Oecumenicorum (Berlin: 1914),
2/2.1:24-33; Norman P. Tanner and G. Alberigo, Decrees of the
Ecumenical Councils (Washington, DC: Georgetown University

then offers new translations from a range of letters and sermons
arranged according to themes (pastoral caregiver, theologian and
opponent of heresy, heir of St. Peter, administrator of the wider
church). The place to start.

the Great, Oxford Theological Monographs (Oxford: Oxford

Christology, it is surprising that there have been so few
book-length studies of his work in English. This does much to
remedy that gap. It is a thorough survey of Leo’s preaching and
letter and highlights his Christology, specifically the issue of how
Christ saves us. Green sets Leo’s famous Tome (which gets
extended analysis here) within the evolution of Leo’s thought.
