HILARIJE IZ POITIERSA I DATIRANA SINODA
HILARY OF POITIERS AND THE DATED SYNOD

Summary/Abstract: In his article the author questions the attitude of Hilary of Poitiers towards the contents of the Dated Creed which was held in Syrmium on May 22nd, 359 AD. Although he did not attend it, in his writings Hilary addressed the issues of the Creed, created at the Synod and offered a compromise solution to the conflict between the followers of the Nicaean Creed and the representatives of Arianism, who radically opposed to it. In absence of explicit documents to support the argument, yet intending to provide the grounds for his conclusions, the author first questions the circumstances of Hilary’s life, emphasizing his theological positions and his attitude towards Arianism which brings him to a greater precision. Then there is a theological reflection on the circumstances of the Dated Synod to continue with Hilary’s attitude towards the individual key theological points concerning the creed of the Dated Synod.
