The City of God

Viac o knihe

Addressing the decline of Rome amidst rising Christianity, Augustine of Hippo's work engages deeply with theological questions, including the nature of evil, the suffering of the righteous, and the tension between free will and divine knowledge. As a foundational text in Christian philosophy, it defends Christianity against pagan critiques and explores the concept of the City of God as a spiritual realm distinct from earthly concerns. This influential work remains a significant contribution to Western thought and Christian doctrine.
