Description

Written as a powerful defence of Christianity at a time of great upheaval, City of God is a seminal work by St Augustine, one of the central figures in the history of the faith.

In this influential document, Augustine examines the ancient pagan religions of Rome, the arguments of the Greek philosophers, and the revelations of the Bible, pointing the way forward to a citizenship that transcends the best political experiences of the world and offers a lasting legacy.

Published by National Geographic Books, this edition of City of God is part of the Penguin Classics series, which represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.
