Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This fascinating book offers an innovative analysis of a historical figure who, despite recognition by the likes of Harnack, remains obscure. Entitled the Ambrosiaster, this individual presents us with a series of commentaries that were erroneously attributed to Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, for centuries. Many scholars believe the author of these texts is likely identical to Isaac, a Jewish convert who found himself caught up in the tumult surrounding papal elections. The author's work is notable for its independence from other historical authorities and the detailed historical knowledge it reveals alongside an obvious sympathy for themes central to Roman life and law. The author's identity, as the book explores, remains the subject of scholarly debate. Through an examination of this body of work, the book offers a unique vantage point on the religious and historical landscape of the 4th century AD. The author also presents a comprehensive comparison of the commentaries with the Quaestiones Veteris et Noui Testamenti, a series of essays on biblical passages, also likely written by the Ambrosiaster. This volume reveals the Ambrosiaster's sophisticated understanding of biblical texts and diverse themes, from the historical background of the epistles to the relationship between Jews and Christians. The result is a body of work that offers profound insights into one of the most formative epochs in Christian history.
