Abstract

Ambrose is known as a one who quoted very oft en the Holy Scripture. Among his writings there is many commentaries to books of the Old Testament. However the commentary to the Book of Jonah apparently does not exist. Although when we read very carefully his writings we can notice that this book was known to him very well. He used it in various situations to give reasons for his statements using a verbal sense of the biblical story. But the most frequent and important use of this book is reading it according to the typology of Christ. Besides these interpretations Ambrose showed moral sense of biblical text, especially with reference to the people of Nineveh, which conversion should be an example for others.
