This is the first full-length detailed survey and critique of modern Jerome scholarship, covering the crucial period 1880-2014. At one level, the author ably argues that, despite Jerome’s faults, his work holds many important insights into the Early Church’s formation of Christian identity and Christian orthodoxy. On another level, by examining aspects of Jerome’s writing through the lens of modern scholarship, the study also illumines the changing directions and perspectives of Jerome studies. As such, it is a valuable and unique account of the scholarly representation of Jerome’s oeuvre. Christopher Knight’s work will continue to have a respected place amongst Jerome studies for years to come.
