Product Description
St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan from 374 to 397, was one of the most important figures of the fourth century Roman Empire. This volume explores the enormous impact of Ambrose on western civilization, and examines the complexity of his ideas and influence as a poet, ascetic, mystic and politician. While most current research tends to see Ambrose as a purely political personality, Ambrose takes a more balanced perspective, viewing him as a man capable of both gross moral misjudgments and great moral and political courage.
The third title in Routledge's Early Church Fathers series, Father Ramsey's volume presents a comprehensive and accessible insight into a relatively unexplored persona, arguing that Ambrose has influenced the Western World in ways as yet unrealized.
