Select Works of Saint Jerome, Volume Two: Treatises and Prefaces

by Jerome

Saint Jerome, one of the early Church’s most learned biblical scholars, profoundly influenced Christian scholarship through his mastery of Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, enabling him to engage deeply with the biblical text. This volume presents his theological treatises and biblical prefaces, which offer valuable insights into the history, translation, and interpretation of Scripture, emphasizing the importance of original languages and textual traditions. Jerome’s writings reveal his commitment to careful biblical scholarship, as well as his involvement in intense theological controversies of the late fourth and early fifth centuries. In addition to his famous Latin Vulgate translation, his work includes extensive commentary, ascetic reflections, and polemical responses that illustrate his intellectual rigor and ecclesiastical engagement. Revised for modern readers, this collection serves as an essential resource for those interested in patristic theology, early Christian interpretation, and the development of biblical translation.
