This is the fourth volume of a projected six-volume Vulgate Bible.
Compiled and translated in large part by Saint Jerome at the turn
of the fifth century ce, the Vulgate Bible permeated the Western
Christian tradition through the twentieth century. It influenced
literature, art, music, and education, and its contents lay at the
heart of Western theological, intellectual, artistic, and political
history through the Renaissance. At the end of the sixteenth
century, professors at a Catholic college first at Douay, then at
Rheims, translated the Vulgate Bible into English to combat the
influence of Protestant vernacular Bibles. Volume IV presents the
writings attributed to the "major" prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah,
Ezekiel, and Daniel), which feature dire prophecies of God's
impending judgment, punctuated by portentous visions. Yet profound
grief is accompanied by the promise of mercy and redemption, a
promise perhaps illustrated best by Isaiah's visions of a new
heaven and a new earth. In contrast with the Historical Books, the
planned salvation includes the gentiles.
