City of God
Who: Augustine of Hippo
when: early 5th century
Where: north Africa? Rome?
How: original in Latin
Why: encourage readers to keep their eyes and hearts fixed on the City of God regardless of any temptations or trials
I read Augustine's Confessions quite a while ago, but never read his City of God. Russell suggests Augustine is a "difficult read but intriguing read" for the "modern reader," but I think he sounds timely! When are we without trials and temptations?
