A City of God – 

A new bible translated by Jerome precedes Augustine’s commentary on the Apocalypse in The City of God.  Prior to the Vulgate many believed the Apocalypse did not belong in the bible.  This was settled once and for all by Jerome who had the authority to define the bible.  We still wonder about who wrote it and when.

One thought on “a commentary ”

  1. John Chrysostom was in Ephesus replacing seven bishops at the beginning of the fifth century. Jerome was finishing the Vulgate which included the Apocalypse. Within 20 years, Agustine wrote his first commentary on the Apocalypse. Augustine had told Jerome that we didn’t need another version of the bible!
