The City of God

Meer over het boek

Exploring the fall of the Roman Empire, this work delves into the emergence of a holy and righteous City of God amidst chaos. Augustine constructs a vision of a utopian society, paralleling themes from Plato's The Republic, while grounding his ideas in robust theological principles that shape the moral and legal structures of the city. The text has significantly influenced various theological traditions, particularly within Catholicism, marking it as a foundational work in Christian thought.
