Book Overview

""The Sources Of The First Ten Books Of Augustine�������s De Civitate Dei"" by Samuel Angus is a scholarly work that explores the sources used by Saint Augustine in the first ten books of his monumental work ""De Civitate Dei"" (The City of God). Published in 1906, this book is a significant contribution to the study of Augustine's work, as it provides a detailed analysis of the sources that influenced his thinking and writing. Angus examines the works of various philosophers, theologians, and historians, including Cicero, Plato, and Livy, among others, to trace the origins of Augustine's ideas and arguments. Through a meticulous examination of the text, Angus shows how Augustine drew upon these sources to develop his own unique perspective on the nature of God, the human condition, and the role of the church in society.
