The City of God

Augustine of Hippo

4/5 ( ratings)

One of the great cornerstones in the history of Christian philosophy, The City of God provides an insightful interpretation of the development of modern Western society and the origin of most Western thought.

In Thomas Merton's words, "The City of God is the autobiography of the Church written by the most Catholic of her great saints."
