L’educazione morale dei catecumeni Considerazioni dal De Abraham di Ambrogio di Milano
The Moral Education of Catechumens: Considerations from De Abraham by Ambrose of Milan

Summary/Abstract: The article describes the moral catechesis of Ambrose, the bishop of Milan, addressed to catechumens on the basis of the treatise De Abraham. Although it is not a work intended only for those preparing for baptism, it contains a number of instruc- tions in which the catechist, addressing the candidates directly, presents the guidelines of a Christian moral life in matters of marriage, family, raising children, and social relations. The article shows how the bishop, using episodes from the life of Abraham, presents him as a model to follow also for those who wish to enter the community of the Church.
