The works of Ambrosiaster, a Christian writing in Rome in the late
fourth century, were influential on his near contemporaries and
throughout the Middle Ages. In the first half of her study, Sophie
Lunn-Rockliffe addresses the problem of the author's mysterious
identity (which scholars have puzzled over for centuries) and
places him in a broad historical and intellectual context. In the
second half she addresses Ambrosiaster's political theology, an
idea which has been explored in other late Roman Christian writers
but which has never been addressed in his works. She looks at how
Ambrosiaster's attitudes to social and political order were formed
on the basis of theological concepts and the interpretation of
scripture, and shows that he espoused a rigid hierarchical and
monarchical organization in the church, society, and the Roman
empire. He also traced close connections between the Devil,
characterized as a rebel against God, and the earthly tyrants and
usurpers who followed his example.
