Written in response to the fall of Rome in 410 AD, Augustine contrasts the earthly city, characterized by human sin and imperfection, with the divine city, symbolizing the eschatological community of believers. His eloquent prose and rhetorical mastery invite readers to explore themes of justice, providence, and the ultimate end of humanity, situated within the tumultuous context of a crumbling Roman Empire. Through a dialectical method, Augustine examines the moral crises of his time, providing a compelling narrative that still resonates with contemporary discussions about politics and spirituality. Saint Augustine, a pivotal figure in Western philosophy and Christian thought, drew from a diverse background as a former Manichean and Neoplatonist before embracing Christianity. His extensive writings reflect his intellectual rigor and personal struggles with faith, which undoubtedly influenced his examination of human society in "City of God." Augustines experiences as a bishop of Hippo also offered him intimate insights into the ethical dilemmas and spiritual crises faced by early Christians in a declining Roman civilization. "City of God" is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the foundations of Western thought regarding the interplay between religion and society. It offers timeless reflections on the nature of human existence, morality, and the quest for a transcendent purpose. Readers will find Augustines insights to be not only historically significant but also deeply relevant to the ethical and spiritual challenges of our own age.</p>...2070063City of God4545https://www.gandhi.com.mx/city-of-god/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1884201/ebb8f22e-3ef6-4562-b474-468688730309.jpg?v=638444100676500000https://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1883734/ebb8f22e-3ef6-4562-b474-468688730309.jpg?v=638342119095770000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20228596547006473_W3siaWQiOiI0MDVjZWFlNC1kODkwLTQyZWYtODZiYS02NTQ1ODU4MTNmOGIiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQ1LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo0NSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDEtMjhUMTI6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d8596547006473_<p>The City of God is a book of Christian philosophy written in Latin by Augustine of Hippo in the early 5th century AD. The book was in response to allegations that Christianity brought about the decline of Rome and is considered one of Augustines most important works. Augustine wrote The City of God as an argument for the truth of Christianity over competing religions and philosophies. He argues that Christianity was not responsible for the Sack of Rome, but instead responsible for its success. Even if the earthly rule of the Empire was imperiled, it was the City of God that would ultimately triumph. As a work of one of the most influential Church Fathers, The City of God is a cornerstone of Western thought, expounding on many profound questions of theology, such as the suffering of the righteous, the existence of evil, the conflict between free will and divine omniscience, and the doctrine of original sin. _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_</p>(*_*)8596547006473_<p>Saint Augustines "City of God" is a monumental work that intricately weaves philosophy, theology, and history, articulating a profound vision of the relationship between faith and society.
