{"product_id":"concerning-virginity-st-ambrose-9781489520456","title":"Concerning Virginity","description":"Aurelius Ambrosius, better known in English as Saint Ambrose (c. 340 - 4 April 397), was an archbishop of Milan who became one of the most influential ecclesiastical figures of the 4th century. He was one of the four original doctors of the Church. He is patron saint of Milan. The state of Virginity is undoubtedly commended in holy Scripture, both by our Lord and St. Paul, but learned men have differed in their opinions as to the original customs and rules observed by virgins in the earliest ages. Some suppose that from the very beginning it was the custom for them to make a solemn profession of the virgin life, and to live together in common. Others consider that their vows were private, and they lived sometimes together, sometimes in the homes of their parents. Others, again, believing that there was no more than a simple purpose on the part of the virgins signified by the veil, and the simplicity of their dress, attribute the first commencements of community life to St. Ambrose himself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e St Ambrose\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1489520457\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781489520456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.25d","brand":"St Ambrose","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48439385194751,"sku":"9781489520456","price":10.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_040bba6d-783d-422b-b184-725a22b7cecc.jpg?v=1777177301","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/concerning-virginity-st-ambrose-9781489520456","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
