Saint Ambroise (340-397). [French]

By Albert de Broglie

Book Overview

Saint Ambroise (340-397) by Albert de Broglie offers a detailed biography of one of the most influential figures in the early Christian Church. This meticulously researched account explores the life and times of Ambrose of Milan, a bishop and theologian who played a pivotal role in the 4th century. De Broglie delves into Ambrose's aristocratic background, his unexpected election as bishop, and his significant contributions to theological discourse and ecclesiastical governance.

The book sheds light on Ambrose's interactions with emperors, his staunch defense of the Church against Arianism, and his profound impact on the development of Christian liturgy and hymnody. Readers will gain insights into the political and religious landscape of the late Roman Empire through the lens of Ambrose's remarkable career. This biography, originally published in French, remains a valuable resource for understanding the life and legacy of Saint Ambrose.
