4. Ambrose and Augustine

⁣Ambrose, the Bishop of Milan, bridged the period from Athanasius to Augustine. He was a stalwart defender of the affirmations of Nicea against Arian distortions, and a defender of the Church against political intrusion. He played a pivotal role in the events leading to the conversion of Augustine, and until Augustine, was the most articulate representative of the Christian faith in the world.
