City of God

Prix de vente$18.99

Augustine defends Christian faith as the Roman world faces collapse.

St. Augustine, bishop of Hippo, was a central figure in the history of Christianity, and City of God is one of his greatest theological works.

Written as an eloquent defense 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 toward a citizenship that transcends the political experiences of the world and lasts for eternity, City of God became one of the most influential documents in the development of Christianity.

This Penguin Classics edition is translated by Henry Bettenson.
