Bible Maker: Jerome is a biography of the translator of the Latin Vulgate Bible. This fourth century saint was a bridge between the Christian Church of the East and the West, serving the West as a papal secretary and monastic pioneer, but spending most of his adult life in Bethlehem in the East as a biblical exegete, translator, and monk. Bible Maker: Jerome uses the vast corpus of writings of this Doctor of the Church as the framework for a fresh look at this outspoken apologist and biblical scholar. Christianity’s ascendancy in Rome under Constantine, the Arian heresy, the first two general church councils at Nicea and Constantiople. . . all were influential in Jerome’s controversial life. Bible Maker: Jerome is fascinating Church history brought to life.
Table Talk with Martin Luther is based on the views of the founder of Protestantism, Martin Luther, which have largely been drawn from his own informal conversations written down in the well-known Tischerat . . . and the views of a modern twenty-first century Catholic teacher and author. Ecumenical in nature, the book uses a creative format of two weeks of intergenerational face-to-face discussions on a variety of topics, from the comparisons and contrasts between centuries separated by five hundred years, to the influences of the culture on a sixteenth century theological giant compared to the influences affecting this twenty-first century author.
