In \u003ci\u003eAmbrose of Milan's Method of Mystagogical Preaching, \u003c\/i\u003e Craig Satterlee provides a method of mystagogical preaching for today's Church by looking at the sermons of Ambrose of Milan. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfronted by a culture that increasingly cannot be counted on to reinforce the Christian faith or participate in the formation of Christians, the Church today questions the nature of the connection between Word and Sacrament, and liturgy and mission. In addressing these same questions, the catechumenate of the early Church took seriously that they lived in a culture at odds with the faith, particularly the period of mystagogy which is characterized by sermons that probe the rites of initiation. Their biblical importance for Christian life, continues to hold great potential for the Church today. However, it remains largely undefined. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy asking such questions as, what did Ambrose do and how did Ambrose do it? Satterlee explains that the best way to learn to preach \u003ci\u003emystagogicaly\u003c\/i\u003e is by using a fourth-century mystagogue as our guide. In chapter one Satterlee establishes the need for mystagogy. Chapter two lays out the historical context of Ambrose and his church. Chapters three through eight are a series of six historical studies on Ambrose and his church that correspond to the components of a homiletic method. Chapter nine proposes a method of mystagogy for the contemporary church based on Ambrose's preaching. A brief biography of Saint Ambrose, history of the church of Milan, and a look at patristic exegesis are also included. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eModeled after William Harmless's\u003ci\u003eAugustine and the Catechumenate, Ambrose of Milan's Method of Mystagogical Preaching\u003c\/i\u003e serves as a companion volume to that work.
