🗺️ Saint Jerome - Episode Five: A Devoted Soul
Bethlehem, 380 A.D. Rumors rip through Rome like wildfire, threatening to destroy Jerome's reputation. Rather than fight the vicious gossip, Jerome flees, seeking peace in the Holy Land. But his work is far from over! The Latin translation of the Gospels complete, Jerome now turns to an even greater challenge: translate the Old Testament from the original Hebrew. Will this bold task unify the Church, or will it only incite fiercer opposition from Jerome's many enemies?
