About this product

Product Information

No book except the Bible itself had a greater influence on the Middle Ages than City of God . Since medieval Europe was the cradle of today's Western civilization, this work by consequence is vital for understanding our world and how it came into being. Saint Augustine is often regardarded as the most influential Christian thinker after Saint Paul, and City of God is his materpiece, a cast synthesis of religious and secular knowledge. It began as a reply to the charge that Christian otherworldiness was causing the decline of the Roman Empire. Augustine produced a wealth of evidence to prove that paganism bore within itself the seeds of its own destruction. Then he proceeded to his larger theme, a cosmic interpretation of in terms of the struggle between good and evilL the City of God in conflict with the Earthly City or the City of the Devil. This, the first serious attempt at a philosophy of history, was to have incalculable influence in forming the Western mind on the relations of church and state, and on the Christian's place in the temporal order. The original City of God contained twenty-two books and filles three regular-sized volumes. This edition has been skillfully abridged for the intelligent general reader by Vernon J. Bourke, author of Augustine's Quest for Wisdom , making the heart of this monumental work available to a wide audience.

    City of God by St. Augustine

    This is an authoritative text on christianity. As an advocate of just war theory and military ethics this is the foundational text of that discipline. In addition, this text debunks the myth or notion of pacifism. Perhaps bishops of the h Holy Catholic church should read St. Augustine, as should other religious leaders in different demoninations. Perhaps we should all read St. Augustine for he makes cleasr that there is a war raging between good and evil, the City of God and the City of Evil. We must all come to grips with who shall win this war- good or evil. This does not mean our political leaders can lead us into conflicts that are not just, quite the contrary.

    City Of God Abridged

    This book was ok, being abridged and all. I would suggest going ahead and getting the unabridged version, because there is so much left out of this abridged version. For a work like this where there are so many ideas to be pondered and such a genius of a author (Saint Augustine), the unabridged complete edition would be the most complete and comprehensive book. Hope it helped!

    Very good book

    Ei bought this book because I'm studing about the ancient church. I think St Agustine is one of the Western fathers who truthfully defended Orthodoxy. I would recommend people
