On the Mysteries and the Treatise on the Sacraments

A volume with two of Ambrose’s most influential writings: On the Mysteries, which are addresses given by Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, to the newly-baptised in Easter week on the nature of the ceremonies and the doctrinal significance of baptism based upon the Old and New Testaments; and Treatise on the Sacraments, which are six sermons, also given during Easter week, on baptism, confirmation, the Eucharist, the Lord’s prayer, and prayer.
