Augustine's City of God

more from Spiritual Classics, ed. Russell

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?
