About the book

Saint Augustine's City of God was written partly in response to the sack of Rome in AD 410 and accusations that Christianity had weakened the Roman world. Augustine contrasts earthly political societies with the eternal "City of God," exploring history, morality, free will and divine providence. The work became one of the most influential texts of Western Christian theology and philosophy.
