Vergil In The Works Of St. Ambrose is a book written by Mary Dorothea Diederich that explores the influence of the Roman poet Vergil on the writings of St. Ambrose, a fourth-century bishop and theologian. The book examines how St. Ambrose used Vergil's works, particularly his epic poem The Aeneid, to convey Christian teachings and values to his readers. It also analyzes the similarities and differences between the two authors' views on topics such as the afterlife, virtue, and the role of the state. Through a close reading of St. Ambrose's works, Diederich provides insights into the intellectual and cultural context of late antiquity and the ways in which classical literature continued to shape Christian thought and literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
