In the *"Bondage of the Will"*, Luther mentions *St. Jerome*, no more or less than 27 times. Having some snarky comments to say about him like: *"Jerome is cast in my teeth; a man, (to say no worse of him) of neither judgment nor application"*, obviously not liking him. Why did Luther disliked St. Jerome? Consider *Tabel Talks* – Of the Books of the Fathers, DXXXIX, p 235. > Jerome should not be numbered among the teachers of the church, for he was a heretic; yet I believe that he is saved through faith in Christ. He speaks not of Christ, but merely carries his name in his mouth.
