City of God
Translated with Notes by Henry Bettenson
Introduction by G. R. Evans
Augustine examines the inefficacy of the
Roman gods and of human civilization
in general. Blending Platonism with
Christianity, he created the first Christian
theology of history—planning a city
based not on the Roman pantheon but on
Christian love.
