The Theological Tractates by Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius audiobook.

Genre: religion

Written by the late Roman philosopher and statesman Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius, The Theological Tractates (often gathered as the Opuscula Sacra) offers a compact but demanding set of essays that bring the tools of classical logic to the central questions of Christian doctrine. Across these short works, Boethius asks how careful definitions can clarify mysteries that believers confess but struggle to explain: the unity and distinction within the Trinity, the meaning of person and nature, and the way Christ can be understood as fully divine and fully human without collapsing into contradiction. Moving with the precision of a logician, he tests the limits of ordinary language, examines how categories like substance and relation apply (or fail to apply) to God, and models a method of argument that seeks harmony between faith and disciplined reasoning. The tractates also reveal a thinker working at a cultural crossroads, translating and reshaping the philosophical inheritance of antiquity for a Christian intellectual world that would soon define the medieval West. Ideal for listeners interested in theology, philosophy, and the history of ideas, this collection rewards patience with a clear view of how doctrine can be treated as rigorous inquiry, not mere assertion.
