Ambrose Of Athens - Wisdom.

Think not, men of Greece, that my separation from your customs has been made without a just and proper reason. For I acquainted myself with all your wisdom, consisting of poetry, of oratory, of philosophy; and when I found not there anything agreeable to what is right, or that is worthy of the divine nature, I resolved to make myself acquainted with the wisdom of the Christians also, and to learn and see who they are, and when they took their rise, and what is the nature of this new and strange wisdom of theirs,[4] or on what good hopes those who are imbued with it rely, that they speak only that which is true....
Men of Greece, when I came to examine the Christian writings, I found not any follies in them, as I had found not any folly in them, as I had found in the celebrated Homer.
St Ambrose.
