Description

This edition of St Augustine's City of God provides a unique combination of text and translation, along with a detailed commentary. Written in response to the sack of Rome by the Goths in AD 410, these books see Augustine re-engaging with his earlier study of Platonism.

Augustine explores demonology, drawing on the De Deo Socratis of Apuleius, and argues that Christ is the ideal mediator between God and man. He examines the similarities between Platonism and Christianity, proposing a new understanding of the relationship between humans and the divine.

This edition features the Latin text alongside facing-page English translation, introduction, and commentary, offering insight into Augustine's complex and influential ideas.
