St. Augustin's City of God and Christian Doctrine is a collection of writings by Saint Augustin, a prominent theologian and philosopher from the early Christian Church. This volume contains the second part of the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church series, which covers Augustin's most influential works. The City of God is a monumental work that explores the relationship between Christianity and the Roman Empire. Augustin argues that the fall of Rome was not caused by the spread of Christianity, but rather by the moral decay of the Roman people. He also develops a Christian philosophy of history, in which the City of God represents the eternal and spiritual realm, while the City of Man represents the temporal and earthly realm.In addition to The City of God, this volume includes Augustin's Christian Doctrine, a treatise on the principles of Christian theology. Augustin discusses the nature of God, the Trinity, the incarnation of Christ, and the sacraments. He also provides guidance on interpreting scripture and understanding the relationship between faith and reason.Overall, St. Augustin's City of God and Christian Doctrine is a comprehensive and influential work of Christian theology that continues to be studied and debated today.1886. Volume 2 of a 14 volume set. The �������City of God������� is a masterpiece of the greatest genius among the Latin Fathers that embodies the results of thirteen years of intellectual labor and study. It is a vindication of Christianity against the attacks of the heathen in view of the sacking of the city of Rome by the barbarians. It is the first attempt at a philosophy of history, under the aspect of two rival cities or communities; the eternal city of God and the perishing city of the world. This is the best known and most read work of St. Augustin's next to his Confessions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
