Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book of collected letters explores the spiritual world and beliefs of Christianity in the 4th century. Authored by St Jerome, a leading figure in the early church, the volume contains 154 letters written to fellow Christians, many of whom were women, exploring issues of faith, dogma, conduct, and the role of women in the church. Many of the letters focus on the concept of the ascetic life, and the significance of virginity and self-denial. Jerome, a strong advocate for monasticism, provides insights into the spiritual struggles, and rewards of those who pursued a life of abstinence. The letters also shed light on the early church's position on issues such as marriage, widowhood, and the role of charitable giving, reflecting the moral and ethical landscape of Christianity in late antiquity. Through the lens of Jerome's personal experiences and spiritual guidance, this book provides a unique glimpse into the formative period of Christianity.
