Against Jovinianus - Saint Jerome

from Against Jovinianus · host Saint Jerome

Jovinianus, had published at Rome a treatise containing the following opinions: (1) "That a virgin is no better as such than a wife in the sight of God. (2) Abstinence is no better than a thankful partaking of food. (3) A person baptized with the Spirit as well as with water cannot sin. (4) All sins are equal. (5) There is but one grade of punishment and one of reward in the future state." Also he held the birth of our Lord to have been natural, rather than that Jesus passed through the walls of the womb as His Resurrection body afterwards did out of the tomb. All these opinions were condemned in synods at that city and at Milan (about A.D. 390). He subsequently sent Jovinian's books to Jerome, who answered them in the present treatise in the year 393. Book I is wholly on (1), marriage and virginity. Chp 4-13 are Jerome's sense, of St. Paul's teaching in 1 Cor. vii. In chp. 14-39 Jerome uses both the Old and the New Testaments. Chp. 40 praises virginity and single marriages from examples in the heathen world. - Summary: A shortened version from the introduction.

Much like you and I, these biblical heroes loved, loathed, coveted, and knew the gut-wrenching pangs of heartbreak.The ”Biblical Times Podcast,” is your portal into the past.

Our mission is to contextualize their actions against the backdrop of their realities, societal norms, and legal structures.Written and edited by Dr. Liora Ravid, who holds a PhD in Biblical Studies and is the author of the book, “Daily Life in Biblical Times.” History of Napoleon - Historic Audiobook LibriVox Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus (c. 236-c.183 B.C.) was one of the greatest military tacticians and strategists of all time. Only in his mid-twenties, he was given command of the Roman forces in Spain after his father and uncle had been killed there in battle. Tactically brilliant and innovative, he was also a master of grand strategy, winning key Spanish and African allies by his integrity and diplomatic skill. After defeating Hannibal's brothers in Spain, he was victorious over Hannibal in Africa at the Battle of Zama, famously funneling the Carthaginian war elephants through gaps between the Roman ranks and then turning them against the cavalry on the wings of Hannibal's army. (Summary by Pamela Nagami, M.D.)
