"Lee has curated the best anthology of City of God that exists" City of God is Augustine's fullest treatment of church and society. This abridged edition includes commentary, essays, and other resources for readers to discover his work anew. "An incredible resource. Lee has curated the best anthology of City of God that exists, surrounded the primary readings with incredibly helpful notes and commentary, and left room for readers to wrestle with Augustine for themselves." --James K. A. Smith, Calvin University "The Essential 'City of God' provides readers with the tools to approach this incandescent-if-intimidating work with confidence. This book is bound to become a must-read for Augustine afficionados and newcomers to his oeuvre alike." --Maria E. Doerfler, Yale University "Lee has provided modern readers with an invaluable guide that will explain Augustine's social and intellectual context." --J. Warren Smith, Duke Divinity School "Lee is an eminently trustworthy guide. His judicious selections combined with his superb introduction, annotations, and essays on vexed topics represent the ideal starting point for engaging this greatest work of one of history's greatest authors." --Han-luen Kantzer Komline, Western Theological Seminary "Lee's selection of passages from Augustine's masterpiece, City of God, together with Lee's own astute commentary on those passages, makes for an exceptional work for students and interested general readers. Highly recommended." --Charles Mathewes, University of Virginia "Augustine notes that his City of God is the result of 'great and arduous labor.' As anyone who has tried to read it knows, that can describe the reader's experience too. For those daunted by the prospect, Lee has created this intelligently abbreviated edition." --John C. Cavadini, University of Notre Dame "Augustine desperately needs not just an editor but a wingman--someone to track his flight as he deep dives into cultural critique, metaphysical speculation, exegetical acrobatics, and otherworldly musings. Lee, one of the best of the new generation of political theologians, offers readers a framework for reading City of God." --James Wetzel, Villanova University
