Along with his Confessions, The City of God is undoubtedly St.
Augustine's most influential work. In the context of what begins as
a lengthy critique of classic Roman religion and a defence of
Christianity, Augustine touches upon numerous topics, including the
role of grace, the original state of humanity, the possibility of
waging a just war, the ideal form of government, and the nature of
heaven and hell. But his major concern is the difference between
the City of God and the City of Man - one built on love of God, the
other on love of self. One cannot but be moved and impressed by the
author's breadth of interest and penetrating intelligence. For all
those who are interested in the greatest classics of Christian
antiquity, The City of God is indispensable. This long-awaited
translation by William Babcock is published in two volumes, with an
introduction and annotation that make Augustine's monumental work
approachable. Books 11-22 offer Augustine's Christian view of
history, including the Christian view of human destiny. The INDEX
for Books 1-22 (both volumes of The City of God) is contained in
this edition.
