Synopsis
Saint Augustine, who spent 14 years composing this Christian and literary classic, wrote "City of God" as a defense of Christianity in the wake of the fall of the Roman Empire. "City of God" functions as a history of early Christianity, a critique of Roman polytheism, and a philosophy of history. Its central theme is the duality of good and evil. Augustine proposes a universal religious society, or "the perfectly ordered and harmonious communion of those who find their joy in God, and in one another in God."

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "MY DEAR MARCELLINUS: This work which I have begun makes good my promise to you. In it I am undertaking nothing less than the task of defending the glorious City of God against those who prefer their own goods to its Founder."
Industry Reviews
"Here is a book that was written over fifteen hundred years ago by a mystic in North Africa. Yet to those who have ears to hear, it has a great deal to say to many of us who are not mystics, today, in America....'The City of God' is the autobiography of the Church written by the most Catholic of her great saints....'The City of God', for those who can understand it, contains the secret of death and life, war and peace, hell and heaven."
Thomas Merton
