Description

Augustine's De Civitate Dei Books 11 and 12 presents his apology for the Christian faith, marking a significant shift in tone from previous books. In these final two volumes, he explores the creation of the world and the human race, addressing theories on the universe's origin and the nature of angels.

Walsh's acclaimed edition provides a detailed commentary, making it an ideal choice for readers seeking to understand this influential document in western Christianity. The book includes the Latin text with facing-page English translation, introduction, notes, and commentary.

Peter Walsh's edition is intended to complete all twenty-two books of De Civitate Dei, which was left unfinished at the time of his death in 2013. This volume offers a unique opportunity for readers to engage with one of the most significant works in Christian history.
