The City of God

Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of the declining Roman Empire, this influential work by Aurelius Augustine explores the relationship between Christianity and secular society. Augustine argues for the spiritual city of God, contrasting it with the earthly city, and addresses themes of divine providence, morality, and the nature of faith. Through philosophical discourse and theological insights, he defends Christianity against pagan critiques and emphasizes the ultimate triumph of the divine over human affairs.
