Augustine and Jerome

What if two men shaped how the Western world thinks about sin, free will, and the Bible itself - and most people don't even know their names?

Step inside Yannis' Cafe, where two friends (Alex, an ancient studies graduate, and Sophia, a philosophy student) sit down over Greek coffee to unravel the lives, writings, and lasting influence of Augustine and Jerome.

Through their warm, wide-ranging conversation, you'll discover how Augustine's Confessions and The City of God shaped Western Christian thought on sin, grace, and the nature of God and how Jerome's monumental Latin Vulgate Bible translation carried the Christian faith across cultures for over a thousand years.

As Alex and Sophia dig deeper, they explore questions that still resonate today:

• The tension between free will and determinism
• The interplay between Scripture and tradition
• The balance between faith and works
• The role of Greek philosophy in shaping Christian doctrine

Written in an accessible, conversational style, this book appeals to anyone curious about Church history, early Christian thought, and the ideas that shaped Western civilization. From history enthusiasts and young philosophers to homeschool students looking for an engaging entry point into the Church fathers, this book is for you.

A supplementary workbook is also available for further study.
