The City of God (Books 1-10) (Works Of Saint Augustine Series)
Boniface Ramsey (Ed), William Babcock (Trans), Saint AugustinePaperback 2012-09-15
Books 1-10 contain Augustine's critique of the Roman religious, political, and intellectual tradition explaining that Rome's traditional gods were neither able to provide happiness in this life nor in the life to come.
Publisher Description
This long-awaited translation by William Babcock is published in two volumes, with an introduction and annotation that make Augustine's monumental work approachable. Augustine addresses many topics (grace, just war, heaven & hell), but his major concern is the difference between the City of God and the City of Man, one built on love of God, the other on love of self. For those interested in the classics of Christian antiquity, "The City of God" is indispensable.
