Zusammenfassung:
Augustine wrote 'City of God' in the aftermath of the Gothic sack of Rome in AD 410, at a time of rapid Christianization across the Roman Empire. Gerard O'Daly's text remains the most comprehensive modern guide in any language to this seminal work of European literature. In this extensively revised edition, O'Daly takes into account the abundant scholarship on Augustine in the 20 years since its first publication, while retaining the work's focus on Augustine as a writer in the Latin tradition. He explores the many themes of City of God, which include cosmology, political thought, anti-pagan polemic, Christian apologetic, theory of history, and biblical interpretation.
