The City of God

Více o knize

Set against the backdrop of the decline of the Roman Empire, this influential work by Aurelius Augustine explores the relationship between Christianity and secular society. Augustine argues for the superiority of the spiritual city over the earthly city, addressing themes of divine providence, morality, and the nature of human existence. Through a blend of philosophy and theology, he critiques paganism while offering a vision of a divine community founded on faith and grace. This text remains a cornerstone of Christian thought and Western philosophy.
