rabbinic traditions until the fifteenth century A.D. The division into two books appears to have come from the Christian tradition beginning with Origen in the second century A.D. Jerome also divided them into two books in his Latin translation, the Vulgate in the fourth century. According to the Talmud, Ezra was the author of both 1 & 2 Chronicles and Ezra-Nehemiah. Some scholars believe that these four books were written by the same author, but that this person was not Ezra and is…

This is most evident in the life of Erasmus. He saw a distinct danger in trying to interpret Scripture without a working knowledge of the original languages in which they were written. This resulted in the unearthing of errors found within the Latin Vulgate which in turn called into question the absolute authority of those clergy charged with interpreting and expounding the Scriptures to the masses. While Erasmus remained faithful to the Catholic Church, his developments regarding a return to…

The Book of Tobit, named after its principal character, combines Jewish piety and morality with folklore in a fascinating story that has enjoyed wide popularity in both Jewish and Christian circles. Prayers, psalms, and words of wisdom, as well as the skillfully constructed story itself, provide valuable insights into the faith and the religious milieu of its unknown author. The book was probably written early in the second century B.C.; it is not known where. Tobit, a devout and wealthy…

“There were two types of earliest work that Gutenberg produced and they were: indulgences, calendars, vocabularies, and the other work was the 42-line bible.” (Füssel, 18) Stephen Füssel says: “Gutenberg chose for this the Vulgate of St Jerome, the definitive textual basis for all theological work and religious instruction during the Middle Ages.” (Füssel, 18) After copies of the Bible were printed out, many people bought a Bible to keep in their homes, use in their churches…

their faith (Rasmussen). This catechism allowed the faithful to fully know their Faith. Knowing their faith, Catholics were able to more adequately defend Catholicism against attacks. In addition, the Bishops in the council acknowledged the Latin Vulgate written by Saint Jerome as the correct version of the Bible (The Council of Trent). This decision, in addition to the Index Librorum Prohibitorum, told the faithful which books to read and which not to read in order to not read heretical or…

For over two-thousand and five-hundred years the Old Testament has been accepted by many as historically accurate and inspired by God. Likewise, after the King James Version of the Holy Bible was published, it was considered by the Protestants to be the only accurate version of the Holy Bible and was infallible. The historical criticism of both the Old and New Testament began in middle 1700AD and since early 1900AD a more scientific view became established concerning the history of the texts of…

condemn Protestant teachings. Basically, the Catholic Church was making an effort to lay down religious dogma. The key doctrines exclude all Protestants teachings that were teaching work and scripture are of equal value and importance. The Latin Vulgate is the official version of the Catholic Church, and while other versions were not condemned, they were discouraged. This discouragement shows the exclusiveness the Catholic Church seems to continue to present. The Catholic Church believed…
