I'm trying to wrap up chapter 8 right now. Here's what's in my thesis (more or less...)

an overly long and complicated title: "An analysis and comparison of the exegetical practices of Basil of Caesarea in his *Contra Eunomium*, and Hilary of Poitiers in his *De Trinitate*, in relation to their doctrine of the Trinity".

1. Introduction: Pro-Nicenism in the light of recent scholarship
2. Hilary and Basil in their historical context and recent scholarship
3. Economy and Theology: Partitive Exegesis in Practice
4. John 1: A theology of the eternal Son
5. The 'made' Son (1): Approaches to Proverbs 8 among fourth century authors
6. The 'made' Son (2): Basil and Hilary on Proverbs 8 and Acts 2
7. Names, Nature, Nativitas: John 5 and 10
8. Causality and Economy: John 14
9. Conclusion: Basil, Hilary, something something pro-nicenism something something.
