The City of God [By E. Budge].

By Edward Budge

The City of God, by Augustine of Hippo, is a profound exploration of Christian theology and its implications for understanding history, society, and the human condition. Written in response to the sack of Rome in 410 AD, Augustine contrasts the 'City of God, ' characterized by love of God, with the 'City of Man, ' defined by earthly pursuits and self-interest. This enduring work delves into questions of faith, morality, justice, and the ultimate destiny of humanity. It remains a cornerstone of Western thought, offering invaluable insights into the relationship between the spiritual and the temporal realms. Readers will appreciate the timeless relevance of Augustine's reflections on good and evil, peace and war, and the search for meaning in a changing world.
