Description

"City of God" is a significant work in the history of Christian thought, from one of its central figures. Written as an imaginative defense of faith at a time when the Roman Empire was on the verge of collapse, the great theological and philosophical work of Saint Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, examines the ancient pagan religions of Rome, the arguments of Greek philosophers, and the revelations of the Bible. It points the way to a governance that transcends secular politics and will last for eternity. "City of God" is one of the most influential documents in the development of Christianity.

Translated with notes by Henry Bettenson and an introduction by G. R. Evans.
