"This is an important book, for it deals with Ambrose's public
career very thoroughly . . . something we have long been waiting
for . . . a hard-headed account, keeping well clear of either
hagiography or denigration, presenting many of the central episodes
of Ambrose's career in an entirely new light."--Robert Markus
"Ambrose of Milan has long needed the modern biography which
Neil McLynn has now written. Here is a learned and thorough work,
absorbingly readable, bringing Ambrose vividly to life."--Sir Henry
Chadwick, Oxford University
"McLynn has something fresh and (usually) revisionist to say
about every familiar episode in this period, and he succeeds in
exposing a very different Ambrose--a sweat-soaked saint who knew
how to struggle and improvise."--Hal Drake, University of
California, Santa Barbara
"McLynn possesses an impressive control of the general history
of the period, as well as a detailed knowledge of specific events
in which Ambrose was a participant, or even the 'impresario.' He
gives us a critical and nuanced book about this important bishop,
which will change how we read and think about Ambrose."--Carole
Straw, Mount Holyoke College
