The City of God (Books 1-10)

Viac o knihe

St. Augustine's work offers a profound critique of Roman religion while defending Christianity, exploring themes such as grace, the original state of humanity, just war, ideal governance, and the nature of heaven and hell. Central to his argument is the contrast between the City of God, founded on love of God, and the City of Man, rooted in self-love. Augustine's intellectual depth and wide-ranging interests make this text essential for anyone studying significant classics of Christian thought.
