Rome has fallen. The world is in chaos. And the faith is on trial.
When the Visigoths sacked the "Eternal City" in 410 AD, pagans cried that Rome had been abandoned by its gods because of the new Christian religion. In response, Saint Augustine penned this monumental masterpiece: City of God.
More than just a defense of Christianity, this is a radical reimagining of human history itself. Augustine presents two cities, built on two different loves: the Earthly City, driven by self-love and the lust for power, and the Heavenly City, animated by the love of God.
