Against Jovinianus - Saint Jerome
from The Death of Ivan Ilyitch · host Leo Tolstoy
"Against Jovinianus" by Saint Jerome is a robust defense against the controversial views of Jovinianus, who argued that virginity and marriage hold equal value in the eyes of God, and that all sins are equal. Jerome meticulously counters these claims, emphasizing the superiority of virginity and abstinence through a thorough examination of biblical teachings and examples from both sacred and secular history. This treatise not only reflects the theological debates of its time but also invites listeners to reflect on the enduring questions of morality, virtue, and the nature of sin.
