The Bible at the Centre of Life

In his Apostolic Letter Scripturae Sacrae affectus,on30 September 2020 on the 16th centenary of the death of Saint Jerome, Pope Francis wrote:“The distinctive feature of Saint Jerome’s spirituality was undoubtedly his passionate love for the word of God entrusted to the Church in sacred Scripture. All the Doctors of the Church – particularly those of the early Christian era – drew the content of their teaching explicitly from the Bible. Yet Jerome did so in a more systematic and distinctive way”.
