St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan A.D. 373-397, enjoyed a great contemporary reputation for his sermons and homilies, to whose eloquence St. Augustine of Hippo himself gives witness. But, while we have from Augustine hundreds of sermons in virtually their original form, Ambrose's pulpit oratory has not come down to us as delivered. However, Ambrose would often recast his sermons as treatises, and seven of these are presented in this volume. These works are mainly an exegesis of many parts of the Bible, particularly of portions of Genesis, Deuteronomy, Job, and the Song of Songs (on which Issac, or the Soul is in large part a commentary). The Psalms make their echo on nearly every page, as do the Gospels. In special contexts, two apocryphal writings receive attention, IV Esdras and IV Machabees. Ambrose's primary interest is in the moral sense of the Scriptures, and he attains his results through insistent allegorical interpretation. Detailed indices of subjects and of Scripture citations facilitate consultation of Ambrose's thinking on the moral and scriptural problems upon which he, in his time, thought it important for Christians, lay and clerical, to be informed.

Seller's Description:
New. Church historians tell us that Ambrose considered preaching a sacred duty. He addressed his flock on all Sundays and feast days, and every day during the season of Lent. The seven sermons presented in the work were prepared (and likely delivered) between 386 and 394. Included are Isaac, or the Soul, Death as a Good, Jacob and the Happy Life, Joseph, The Patriarchs, Flight from the World and The Prayer of Job and David. Most appear fully here for the first time in a modern language. 477 pp.
