Description
Along with his Confessions, The City of God is undoubtedly St. Augustine’s most influential work. 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. The INDEX for Books 1-22 (both volumes of The City of God) is contained in this volume.
