Jerome, Saint. "Letter 53." The Principal Works of St. Jerome, translated by W. H. Fremantle et al., Christian Literature Publishing Co., 1893, p. 101.
This is an excellent statement of one of the fundamental principles of many Christian Religious Philosophers.
Jerome (c. 342–347 – 30 September 420), also known as Jerome of Stridon, was an early Christian priest, confessor, theologian, translator, and historian; he is commonly known as Saint Jerome. He is best known for his translation of the Bible into Latin (the translation that became known as the Vulgate) and his commentaries on the whole Bible. Jerome attempted to create a translation of the Old Testament based on a Hebrew version, rather than the Septuagint, as prior Latin Bible translations used. His list of writings is extensive. In addition to his biblical works, he wrote polemical and historical essays, always from a theologian's perspective.
