The City of God by Saint Augustine

About this book

The City of God
Saint Augustine of Hippo (354–430)
The City of God Against the Pagans

Augustine’s great apology for the Christian faith, written after the sack of Rome in 410. He traces two cities — the city of God and the earthly city — from the angels and the first man to the last judgment, answering pagan charges and setting out a Christian reading of history, society, and worship.

This Web Book follows the public-domain 1871 T. & T. Clark translation edited by Marcus Dods. Augustine’s twenty-two books and their original chapter titles are preserved. The language is not modernized.

About this text: Augustine died in 430; the Latin work is in the public domain. The 1871 Dods translation used here is also in the public domain in the United States. The 2017 CreateSpace scan named for this project is a later copyrighted abridgment and is not reproduced. Scripture citations open the NKJV Bible on UECF.NET.
