The City of God
Augustine of Hippo
The greatest work of political theology in the history of the Church.
Written after the sack of Rome in 410 CE, Augustine responds to accusations that Christianity weakened the Roman Empire. He argues that worldly kingdoms are transient, while true justice are found in a life aligned with God’s will. We assure you: these 912 pages are worth the investment.
God is always trying to give good things to us, but our hands are too full to receive them.
