Biblical Integration Latin is the language of Western Christendom par excellence. Through the ubiquity of Latin as the primary language of scholarship, trade, and worship in Europe and Northern Africa from the first through the 17th centuries, God has continued to speak to and through God's people to us today. An uncountable quantity and quality of writing exists, moved by the Holy Spirit, addressed to the hearts of all humanity (but especially Christians), calling them to the True, Good, and Beautiful in the Father of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. From the austere Holy Scriptures in the Vulgate of St. Jerome, to the open-hearted Confessions of St. Augustine of Hippo, to the visionary theology of St. Hildegard von Bingen, Latin has been and continues to be the language in which the greatest quantity of influential Christian works for Western society were written. Learning this language enables direct and untranslated access to the original texts of the Western Christian tradition, a sublime good which can only be truly appreciated by a Latin reader whose heart is open to the surprising places where we often find Our Lord.
