Description
The City of God (De Civitate Dei) is one of St. Augustine’s most significant and influential works, written in the early 5th century, primarily in response to the Visigoth sack of Rome in 410 CE. Spanning 22 books, it explores a wide range of theological, philosophical, and historical topics. The central theme contrasts the “City of God” with the “City of Man,” while examining the role of Christianity in the world, particularly in light of the fall of the Roman Empire.
The immediate catalyst for The City of God was the criticism directed at Christianity following Rome’s collapse. Many pagan Romans blamed Christianity for the empire’s downfall, arguing that the abandonment of traditional Roman gods had left the empire vulnerable to destruction. Augustine wrote this work to refute such claims and to offer a Christian perspective on history and the purpose of human life.
