Jovinian (Latin: Iovinianus; died c. 405) was an opponent of Christian asceticism in the 4th century and was condemned as a heretic at synods convened in Rome under Pope Siricius and in Milan by Ambrose in 393 because of his views.[1] Our information about him is derived principally from the work of Jerome in two books, Adversus Jovinianum.[2] Jerome referred to him as the "Epicurus of Christianity".[2] He was a native of Corduene, in present day Turkey.[3] John Henry Newman called Aerius of Sebaste, Jovinian and Vigilantius the forerunners of Protestantism, likening them to the "Luther, Calvin, and Zwingli of the fourth century".[4] Other Protestants also praise Jovinian as an early reformer or even credit him as the "first Protestant".[5][6] Jovinian's teachings received much popular support in Rome and Milan and his followers Sarmatio and Barbatianus kept preaching his ideas after Jovinian was expelled.[7][8][9]
