The City of God, Volume II by Bishop of Hippo Saint Augustine
"The City of God, Volume II" by Bishop of Hippo Saint Augustine is a work of Christian philosophy written in the early 5th century AD. Augustine composed this monumental book to defend Christianity against accusations that it caused Rome's decline after the Visigothic sack of 410. The work presents human history as an epic conflict between two cities: the City of God, marked by those devoted to eternal truths, and the Earthly
City, consumed by worldly pleasures. Through theological analysis and historical examination, Augustine explores profound questions of evil, free will, and divine providence. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
