About this book
Along with his Confessions The City of God is undoubtedly St. Augustines most influential work. Following Augustines critique of the Roman religious political and intellectual tradition in Books 1-10 Books 11-22 set out his great vision of the origins the histories and the ultimate destinies of the two cities: the earthly city rooted in love of self as expressed in the pride and lust for domination that shatter human society and the heavenly city rooted in love of God as expressed in the humility and yearning for the supreme good that unite humanity in a just social order. For all those who are interested in the greatest classics of Christian antiquity The City of God is indispensable. This long-awaited translation by William Babcock is published in two volumes with an introduction and annotation that make Augustines monumental work approachable. The INDEX for Books 1-22 (both volumes of The City of God) is contained in this volume.
