For much of my life, I found the Bible intimidating. It is such a large and old book with many genres, and can be challenging to comprehend. My outlook began to change when I took a college class on the Bible. The professor, who was a priest, explained that reading Sacred Scripture is meant to be an encounter. It ought to breed intimacy with the God of love.
The class I took referenced many great saints who devoted their lives to the study of the Bible. St. Jerome (347-420) was one of the key figures of the class. He is most famous for translating the Bible from Greek into Latin (known as the Vulgate) and for the words, “ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ.”
