(3) Jerome
1) He was born in the 340s near the border of Italy and Dalmatia (Yugoslavia).
2) He studied at Rome and while there began on build up an extensive personal liberty of the classic.
3) He was baptized when about nineteen years of age, and then he renounced a secular career and dedicated himself to an ascetic and scholarly life.
4) He went into the desert and set himself up as a hermit in a cave.
5) After about two and a half years in the desert he returned to civilization. But Jerome never doubted the superiority of celibacy and virginity while he drew back from solitude.
6) He never gave the pagan classics, despite the dream, but he did subordinate them to his theological concerns.
7) He became a leading Greek and Hebrew scholar.
8) He founded a monastery and a convent at Bethlehem with two of his lady friends in 386 and stayed there until his death in 429.
9) His greatest achievement was his Latin translation of the Bible - the Vulgate or commonly used version, as it later came to be known.
10) He became a entangled in an unseemly controversy over Origen. In his early years he was an ardent admirer of Origen. But in 393 he suddenly turned around and became a bitter opponent of Origenist heresy.
