But once he turned to Jesus, while on the Damascus road, he became just as fervent for Christianity as he had been against it.In this study, we will examine the life of...

But we see from Gratian's letter to St. Ambrose, and from the reply, that each treatise is separate, and the De Spiritu Sancto was written some years later, a.d. 381.In the first book St. Ambrose commences by allegorizing the history of Gideon and the fleece, seeing in the drying of th...
