He was consular prefect of Liguria and Emilia, headquartered in Milan, before being made bishop of Milan by popular acclamation in 374. Ambrose was a staunch opponent of Arianism, and has been accused of fostering persecutions of Arians, Jews, and pagans. Traditionally, Ambrose is credited with promoting "antiphonal chant", a style of chanting in which one side of the choir responds alternately to the other, as well as with composing Veni redemptor gentium, an Advent hymn. Ambrose was one of the four original doctors of the Church, and is the patron saint of Milan. He is notable for his influence on St. Augustine.<br /><br />—BOOKS—<br /><br />CONCERNING REPENTANCE<br />CONCERNING VIRGINS<br />CONCERNING WIDOWS<br />EXPOSITION OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH<br />ON THE DECEASE OF HIS BROTHER SATYRUS<br />ON THE DUTIES OF THE CLERGY<br />ON THE HOLY SPIRIT<br />ON THE MYSTERIES AND THE TREATISE ON THE SACRAMENTS<br />THE LETTERS OF SAINT AMBROSE, BISHOP OF MILAN<br /><br />PUBLISHER: AETERNA PRESS<br />
