The article describes the teaching of the first bishop of Poitiers on the divinity of the Son of God from a theological perspective, as described in the Holy Scriptures. His treatise, De Trinitate, has been regarded as the best book which brought calm amidst multiple controversies that arose at the time of the heresy of Arius. St. Hilary underlines that we can testify of God as merely God him-self does when teaching that his own Son is begotten and not created. The incarnation of Jesus Christ pays tribute to his divine nature. And He loses nothing with by taking our human nature. Hilary rejects the arguments of Arius, his successors, Sabellius, adoptionism, and Jews. St. Hilary, by his analyses, encourages the faithful to believe more in what is said by the Father and His Son. According to him, the believers can learn the truth about God only from God him-self. De Trinitate is a fundamental work against Arianism, and recalls that to obtain eternity one must believe that God raised up his Son Jesus from the dead, and that He himself is the Lord (Rm 10, 6-9).

The study deals with the Medieval cult of the Bishop of Poitiers and the Doctor of the Church of St. Hilary of Poitiers in the region of Bohemia and Moravia. Although this important theologian and Western Church Father achieved a significant position in the world church environment, he does not play an important role in the Bohemian lands, including the current Roman Catholic Church, which is reflected in the quite small number of scholarly works devoted to his personality. The study is therefore aimed at emphasizing the antiquity of the cult of St. Hilary in the Bohemian and Moravian environment and with the help of detailed analyses provides the first interpretation of the development and position of reverence for St. Hilary of Poitiers in Bohemian Medieval society. The study primarily answers the basic questions of when and how the cult of St. Hilary of Poitiers developed, where and why it spread or what its overall significance was. The study is based on a broadly conceived dissertation research of the historical sources, which in the case of the cult of St. Hilary include primarily the Medieval calendars, homilies, legends and artistic monuments.
