A Select Library of the Nicene and Post-Nicene Father of the Christian Church

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is the magnum opus of Saint Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, one of the most important figures in the development of Christian theology. Written in the wake of the sack of Rome by the Visigoths in 410 CE, it is a comprehensive defense of Christianity against the pagan charge that it was responsible for the disaster. Augustine argues that the sack was a consequence of Rome's moral decline and the decay of its traditional values. He also points out that Christians had been spared by the Visigoths, which he attributes to the protection of Christ. The City of God is a seminal work of Christian apologetics, but it is much more than that. It is also a profound meditation on the nature of history, the relationship between the earthly and heavenly cities, and the destiny of humanity. Augustine's insights into these topics continue to resonate with readers today, making this book an enduring classic of Christian thought.
