Title: Hilary of Poitiers, conflicts of conscience and law in the fourth-century Church
Subtitle: "Against Valens and Ursacius", the extant fragments, together with his "Letter to the Emperor Constantius"
Description: Two texts are presented in English translation here. The first is what remains of a historical work Hilary wrote against two distinguished contemporary bishops, Valens and Ursacius, whose intervention on behalf of the Emperor Constantius Hilary thought disastrous. They throw a flood of light upon scenes of disarray, violence and betrayal in the Church life of the fourth century. -- Amazon.com.
