Publisher's Synopsis

In "Against Jovinianus," Jerome, a renowned Church Father and biblical scholar, engages in a spirited defense of holiness and asceticism against the teachings of Jovinianus. With rigorous theological arguments and scriptural exegesis, Jerome refutes Jovinianus' claims regarding the equal merits of virginity and marriage, highlighting the superiority of celibacy and the pursuit of spiritual perfection.


This work stands as a timeless testimony to Jerome's commitment to the pursuit of holiness and his unwavering defense of monasticism. "Against Jovinianus" serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the early Christian perspectives on celibacy, marriage, and the pursuit of sanctity.
