Ambrose Saint Ambrose

One of the early church fathers, Ambrose was in fact responsible for the conversion of Augustine and as a result his theology reflects heavily into Augustine's own. Since they were both living in the same era they started having problems with the same groups of people. Although Ambrose focuses more on the heresy of the Arian's there is still undercurrents to heresies that were being rebuffed all over the Roman world. Ambrose stands as one of the greatest of the church fathers despite the fact that we don't have as many of his writings as someone like Augustine or others.
