Christological Themes Found in the Letters of Jerome – Part One
Abstract
This article describes the Christological themes that Jerome of Stridon took up in his teaching and which are found in the Letters. They are related to the defence of the truths of faith about the Trinity and to the formulation of Christological doctrine. At the same time, they show the Monk of Bethlehem as a concerned defender of a right theology. The research carried out reveals the Vulgate Author's firm grounding in the era in which he lived. They show both his inscription in the teaching of other Church Fathers after the first two universal councils and the originality of certain thoughts in his teaching.
