The volume continues P. G. Walsh's admired translation with
commentary of Augustine's The City of God Books I-XIV which have
been published in eight earlier volumes between 2003 and 2016, and
this ninth volume in the collection looks at books XV and XVI.
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. 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.
