On the Duties of the Clergy
Read by Euthymius
Composed about A.D. 391., this treatise of St. Ambrose may as well be called "Concerning Christian Virtues" as it practically offers to the reader a whole bouquet of Christian virtues. St. Ambrose, esteeming very highly the dignity of the ministerial office, was most desirous that the clergy of his diocese should live worthily of their high vocation, and be good and profitable examples to the people. The language of the book is eloquent, the style noble, the thought abundant in both imagery and rhetoric, and the philosophical and moral contents - pithy, fragrant and heart-commanding.

Reviews
Maria
Useful spiritual reading. Great to explore early Christian thought. Reader's voice is pleasant to listen to. Thank you
Good reading - good book
...
Thank you for a clear reading of this book. There are a few places where the recordings are silent (after some chapters were finished, it seemed like it was still recording). But that does not affect the reading itself, just means that the book is shorter than the actual run time.
