By no means can Jerome’s profound scholarship be limited to the ''Vulgate'', for Jerome wrote many [[New Testament]] commentaries, taught many students, and was at all times engaged in the questions of his day, writing his expert answers to inquiries from all sorts of fellow Christians, including the likes of the great [[St. Augustine]] himself. But, most importantly, Jerome was constantly at battle with the heretics of the day, exposing their errors by appealing to the [[Bible|Holy Scriptures]] and the faith of the Church.

Jerome constantly upheld the divine nature of the Scriptures, affirming that, ultimately, God is the author of the [[Bible]]. It was his reverence for the Word, and for the Lord, that led Jerome in all his pursuits. Neither did Jerome doubt that the human authors were chosen for a reason, and he regularly set about investigating their language and historical setting to better understand the agency and message of God. Jerome considered the Bible free from all error or deception; thus he wrote, “The Lord's words are true; for Him to say it, means that it is.”<ref>Jerome, ''In Mich''., 4:1.</ref>
