Enchantment and Creed in the Hymns of Ambrose of Milan offers the
first critical overview of the hymns of Ambrose of Milan in the
context of fourth-century doctrinal song and Ambrose's own
catechetical preaching. Brian P. Dunkle, SJ, argues that these
settings inform the interpretation of Ambrose's hymnodic project.
The hymns employ sophisticated poetic techniques to foster a
pro-Nicene sensitivity in the bishop's embattled congregation.
After a summary presentation of early Christian hymnody, with
special attention to Ambrose's Latin predecessors, Dunkle describes
the mystagogical function of fourth-century songs. He examines
Ambrose's sermons, especially his catechetical and mystagogical
works, for preached parallels to this hymnodic effort. Close
reading of Ambrose's hymnodic corpus constitutes the bulk of the
study. Dunkle corroborates his findings through a treatment of
early Ambrosian imitations, especially the poetry of Prudentius.
These early readers amplify the hymnodic features that Dunkle
identifies as "enchanting," that is, enlightening the "eyes of
faith."
