Title: Deep Dive of: Ep.0006 405 AD – Jerome’s Bible Revolution – Translating Truth Into Latin and Shaping the Western Church’s Scripture for a Thousand Years Description: Did you know that a church riot once started because a translator changed the word "gourd" to "ivy"? In this Deep Dive, we explore the hidden research behind COACH Episode 6. We look at the real story of Jerome, who didn't just move to Bethlehem for peace and quiet—he was actually expelled from Rome after a tragic scandal involved one of his students. We also uncover the surprising "paradox" of the Latin Vulgate. While Jerome fought for the "Hebrew Truth," the church often rejected his most accurate work, specifically his translation of the Psalms. We also shine a light on Paula and Eustochium, the brilliant women who learned Hebrew and acted as Jerome's editors, forcing him to be more accurate. This discussion, based on the research of Bob Baulch from the That’s Jesus Channel, reveals that the Bible used for 1,000 years was actually a "Frankenstein" mix of different translations. It challenges us to think about the tension between comfortable tradition and the hard work of finding the truth. #ChurchHistory #Jerome #BibleTranslation
