St. Augustine, bishop of Hippo, is one of the central figures in
the history of Christianity, and City of God is one of his greatest
theological works. Written as an eloquent defence of the faith at a
time when the Roman Empire was on the brink of collapse, it
examines the ancient pagan religions of Rome, the arguments of the
Greek philosophers and the revelations of the Bible. Pointing the
way forward to a citizenship that transcends worldly politics and
will last for eternity, City of God represents a dramatic turning
point in the unfolding of Christian doctrine.
The new introduction by Gill Evans examines the text in the
light of contemporary Greek and Roman thought and political change.
It demonstrates the importance of religious and literary influences
on St. Augustine and his significance as a Christian
thinker.Includes new introduction, chronology, and bibliography
