    Theological Tractates-Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius
    Nov 7 2026
    Theological Tractates by Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius.

    It was in the last dozen years of his life that Boethius wrote on a vastly different topic, or what one might imagine a vastly different topic, namely, theology. There are preserved under his name four brief but pithy letters, addressed, one to Symmachus and the rest to a mutual friend, John the Deacon, dealing with theological subjects of great contemporary importance. That to Symmachus is entitled "How that the Trinity is one God and not three Gods", and presents a specially vigorous criticism of the Arian heresy. Number 2, addressed to John, continues this topic; it is entitled, "Whether Father, Son, and Holy Spirit may be substantially predicated of Divinity". The last in the series, "A Treatise against Eutyches and Nestorius", takes up one of the great controversies of the age, the doctrine of the Person of Christ.
