Marius Victorinus was a fourth-century Roman rhetorician, philosopher, and Christian convert. Originally known for his learning and public career in Rome, he came to faith later in life, a conversion famously remembered by Augustine in his Confessions. After embracing Christianity, Victorinus used his philosophical training in defense of Nicene orthodoxy during the Arian controversy. His writings on the Trinity and his commentaries on Paul—especially Galatians, Ephesians, and Philippians—made him an important early Latin witness to the union of biblical exegesis, Christian doctrine, and classical learning.
