Hello Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
As per the report of book 1 and book 2, I have completed an in depth review of St Ambrose's work "On the Duties of the Clergy" (Book 3 out of 3).
Please find the book 3 pdf review attached to the bottom of this forum post. The review is 6 pages.
As mentioned before, I hope that my review of this work will encourage you all to pick up a copy of the work, and expand your knowledge of what was considered important for the duties of clergy at the time.
