The Differences Between Early Latin and Early Greek Church Fathers

George Boystone: The early Latin church fathers wrote in Latin. In the first three centuries of the era Greek was the default language for anyone writing philosophy. That seems to change in the fourth century though when knowledge of Greek seems to go into some sort of decline. There's a real flourishing of Latin literature and also very interestingly there's a great translation movement associated with that. Jerome translating the Bible, not the first time the Bible has been translated into Latin but of course this is a very important translation. Victorina's who ends up as a Christian makes Latin translations of Aristotle and perhaps even Platonius.
