One of the greatest works of Western thought, The City of God was written by St. Augustine in the shadow of the fall of Rome in 410 AD. In it he contrasts the earthly city, built on self-love and passing power, with the heavenly city, built on the love of God and enduring truth. This first volume lays the philosophical foundations: the rise and worship of the pagan gods, the limits of earthly empire, and the true peace that the soul seeks. A profound meditation on history, providence and the meaning of human community.
