City of God, Abridged Study Edition

St. Augustine's work delves into the contrast between the City of God, founded on divine love, and the City of Man, based on self-love. Through a critique of Roman religion and a defense of Christianity, he explores themes such as grace, humanity's original state, just warfare, ideal governance, and the afterlife. His profound insights and expansive interests make this text a cornerstone of Christian literature, essential for anyone studying the classics of Christian thought.
