City of God book by Saint Augustine

City of God book by Saint Augustine

City of God is one of the most influential works in Christian philosophy and theology. Written in the early 5th century after the sack of Rome by the Visigoths, Saint Augustine responds to claims that Christianity was responsible for the decline of the Roman Empire. Instead, he argues that earthly kingdoms are temporary and flawed, while the “City of God” represents an eternal spiritual community grounded in divine truth and love.

Blending philosophy, theology, and historical reflection, City of God became foundational to Western Christian thought and political philosophy. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery.
