After completing the first ten books of De Civitate Dei, in which
Augustine sought to refute the claim that pagan deities had ensured
that Rome enjoyed unbroken success and prosperity in this life and
guaranteed its citizens a blessed life after death, Augustine
devoted the remaining twelve books to discuss the origins,
development and destiny of the two cities of Babylon and Jerusalem,
with the predominant emphasis on the city of God. In this volume,
the seventh in Peter Walsh's series, Augustine turns to the problem
of death as punishment for the sin of disobedience, resumes his
attack on the Platonists and pursues a range of topics which emerge
from consideration of Adam's sin. This is the only edition of these
books in English which provides not only a text but also a detailed
commentary on one of the most influential documents in the history
of western Christianity. Latin text with facing-page English
translation, introduction and commentary.
