Commentary: Wayback Machine. Quoth the Holy Redeemer Parish bulletin:
He is best known for his translation of most of the Bible into Latin (the translation that became known as the Vulgate), & his commentaries on the Gospels. His list of writings is extensive.Quoth the Holy Family Parish bulletin:
St. Jerome was born in Dalmatia around 347. He was a scholar of Latin, Greek, & Hebrew. He studied scripture under St. Gregory Nazianzen. Pope Damasus commissioned him to translate a new edition of the Latin bible, called the Vulgate. He once stated: "To be a Christian is a great thing, not merely to seem one, & somehow or other those please the world most who please Christ least… Christians are made, not born."St. Jerome once wrote, obviously not in English, a language that had not yet developed at the time he shuffled off this mortal coil, "Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ." I've wasted too much of my life ignorant of Scripture & thus ignorant of Christ.
