Against Jovinianus - Saint Jerome

"Against Jovinianus" by Saint Jerome is a powerful rebuttal to the controversial views of Jovinianus, who argued that virginity and abstinence hold no greater value than marriage and that all sins are equal. Jerome meticulously dismantles these opinions, emphasizing the significance of both marriage and virginity through a thorough examination of Scripture and examples from both religious and secular contexts. This treatise not only defends the sanctity of virginity but also invites listeners to reflect on the nature of sin and virtue.
