Saint Talk: St. Jerome, Doctor of the Church

"Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ." -- St Jerome
St. Jerome, Doctor of the Church, is most known for translating the Holy Bible from the original languages to Latin.  This came to be known as the Vulgate as it was the vernacular language of the time.   This translation continues to be used today.  One prime example is the Navarre Bible which contains exceptional commentaries.
  • EWTN
  • SQPN
  • A Daily Word service is available which utilizes his writings and those of other saints and doctors of the church.
The Navarre Bible is an excellent bible translation to use for study and reflection:
