Course Description: Course Description: St. Ambrose, the fourth-century bishop of Milan, is one of the principal Latin Fathers of the Church, a famed theologian, rhetorician, and administrator. In this course we will read and discuss Ambrose’s De mysteriis, a compilation of sermons given to newly baptized Christians during Easter week on the sacraments of initiation – Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist. We will discuss Ambrose’s ideas and emphases, considering them in the context of his own time and also how they are similar to or different from teachings on the sacraments in later eras.
