Welcome to the blog for the Religion and Theology Reference Division of Hekman Library at Calvin College and Calvin Theological Seminary. We'll use this blog to post news, research tips, book notices, and other items relevant to religion and theology reference.
What's the name all about? We've chosen to go by the pseudonym "Hieronymus" in honor of St. Jerome (Latinized as "Hieronymus") ca.340 - 420. Jerome was a brilliant biblical commentator whose greatest legacy to the church was his Latin translation of Scripture based on the Hebrew text. In a revised form his translation became what we know today as the Vulgate.
