Best Answer

The celebrated original four doctors of the Church were:

St. Ambrose (340-397 AD)

St. Jerome (340?-420 AD)

St. Augustine (354-430 AD)

St. Gregory the Great (540-604 AD)

As can be seen by the dates, not all lived during the fourth century. They were specially honored as the four doctors during the Middle Ages due to their popularity among scholastics and popular devotion.
