  • Students will be able to describe the context in which Ambrose’s texts were written and their relationship to earlier patristic traditions.
  • Students will be able to interpret the significance of various motifs in the texts (paradisusarca Noe) in the light of early Christian symbolism.

3. Application (Apply)
