Augustine: The City of God against the Pagans
About this book
This is the first new rendition for a generation of The City of God, the first major intellectual achievement of Latin Christianity and one of the classic texts of Western civilisation. Robert Dyson has produced a complete, accurate, authoritative, and fluent translation of De civitate dei, edited together with full biographical notes, a concise introduction, bibliography, and chronology of Augustine's life. The result is one of the most important single contributions to the Cambridge Texts series yet published, of interest to students of ecclesiastical history, the history of political thought, theology, philosophy, and late antiquity.

Information
The
City
of
God
against
the
pagans
of
course,
may
be
found
any
of
those
who
so
rashly
and
vainly
promise
themselves
the
fruit
of
another's
labour.
Let
this
suffice,
then,
for
my
reply
to
those
who
possess
the
Sacred
Scriptures
in
common
with
us,
but
who,
by
a
mistaken
understanding
of
what
they
say,
conceive
of
the
future
rather
as
they
themselves
wish
than
as
the
Scriptures
teach.
Having
given
this
reply,
I
now,
as
I
promised,
bring
this
book
to
a
close.
