Background on Gaius Marius Victorinus

In his own words on Jeremiah

  • Jeremiah 23:22

    What if these formulas also are scriptural, and of these two formulas, one is used with such clearness that one knows it has not been invented by me but has already been authorized by sacred Scripture? David, who sings hymns in the book of Psalms, which is called the key of all the mysteries, in the thirty-fifth psalm chants a psalm to God, sings praise to God in this way: "For in you is the source of life. In your light we shall see the light." Do we think that that is addressed to God or to Christ or to both? Because to both, it is rightly addressed, for in the Father is the Son, and in the Son is the Father. But if it is addressed to God the Father, it will be this: "If they had stood in my substance, they would have also seen my Word." But if it is addressed to the Son, it will be this: "Whoever has seen me, has seen the Father also."
