| Résumé : |
The first full scale biography in English of a fascinating early Church Father, a man who was by turns gentle, vicious, cantankerous, charming, infuriating, brilliant and stubborn - but always a religious genius.
Jerome, in the years between his birth in what is now Yugoslavia and his death at Bethlehem in 420, established himself as a most learned, polemical, and psychologically intriguing figure to his contemporaries. Although chiefly remembered today for his Latin Vulgate translation of the Bible (which influenced the life and thought of the Church for centuries), Jerome was also a prolific commentator on Scripture, an apologist and propagandist, a graceful stylist and incisive letter-writer - and a rough-and-tumble intellectual brawler not above referring to a former friend as a “grunting pig” for daring to disagree with him. Fifteen hundred years after Jerome’s death, all the events of his tumultuous career seem to take on life again in Kelly’s hands. Jerome’s education and profligacy in Rome; his conversion to Christianity; his vision-racked sojourn in the Syrian desert; his debut as an author in Constantinople and Antioch; his temporary conflict with Augustine; his continual appetite for violent controversy are all rendered almost contemporary in impact. |
