Jerome and Jovinian is a scholarly work by John Gavin Nolan, published by the Catholic University of America Press as part of its Studies in Sacred Theology, Second Series, No. 97. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the theological controversies surrounding two figures from the early Christian Church: St. Jerome and Jovinian. The first part of the book focuses on the life and works of St. Jerome, a prominent theologian and biblical scholar who lived in the 4th and 5th centuries. Nolan examines Jerome's views on celibacy, asceticism, and the role of women in the Church, as well as his famous translation of the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate). The second part of the book turns to Jovinian, a lesser-known figure from the same era who challenged many of the traditional beliefs and practices of the Church. Jovinian argued that celibacy was not necessary for spiritual purity, and that all Christians, regardless of their station in life, were equally capable of achieving salvation. These views were controversial and led to Jovinian being condemned as a heretic by the Church. Nolan's book provides a detailed examination of the theological debates surrounding Jerome and Jovinian, as well as their broader historical and cultural contexts. It will be of interest to scholars and students of early Christian history, theology, and Church doctrine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
