# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born around 342–347, Jerome became a priest, theologian, and translator in the early Christian world. He set out to render the Bible into Latin, breaking with tradition by translating the Old Testament from Hebrew instead of the Greek Septuagint — a decision that defined the Vulgate, the text that would dominate Western Christianity for centuries. Beyond translation, he produced commentaries on scripture, polemical essays, and historical works, all through a theologian's lens. He spent years in Rome, where he advised prominent women from senatorial families on Christian ascetic life, shaping ideals of devotion in cosmopolitan circles. He died on 30 September 420, later recognized as one of the four Great Latin Church Fathers.
