Publisher's Synopsis
This volume is part of the esteemed "Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers" series, a collection of English translations of important early Christian writings. Specifically, Volume 11 focuses on the works of St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan (d. 397). Ambrose was a significant figure in the 4th-century Church, known for his theological contributions, his role in the conversion of St. Augustine, and his influence on church-state relations.
The texts presented here offer valuable insights into the theological debates, pastoral concerns, and social context of the late Roman Empire. Students of church history, patristics, and Christian theology will find this volume an indispensable resource for understanding the development of Christian thought and practice in the post-Nicene era. Ambrose's writings reflect the intellectual and spiritual climate of his time, providing a window into the lives and beliefs of early Christians.
