Produktbeschreibung
Saint Augustine's 'City of God' is a monumental work that focuses on the relationship between the earthly city and the city of God, exploring the nature of divine providence and the ultimate destiny of humanity. Written in a highly philosophical and theological style, the book is a thorough examination of Christian doctrine and its implications for the temporal world. Augustine's work is considered a cornerstone of Western thought and has made a lasting impact on both theology and philosophy. In 'City of God,' Augustine delves into the complexities of sin, redemption, and the nature of the Christian life, offering profound insights into the human condition and the nature of God. Saint Augustine, a revered theologian and philosopher, was deeply influenced by his own personal struggles and experiences, leading him to write 'City of God' as a response to the fall of Rome and the challenges facing the Christian community. His background in both Manichaeanism and Neoplatonism greatly informed his theological views and shaped his understanding of the relationship between the spiritual and material worlds. I highly recommend 'City of God' to readers seeking a profound and thought-provoking exploration of Christian theology and its impact on the world. Augustine's insights are timeless and continue to resonate with readers today, making this work a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, theology, or Western intellectual history.
Autorenporträt
St Augustine of Hippo was the great Doctor of the Latin Church. Born in North Africa in AD 354, he was brought up as a Christian and at 16 went to Carthage to finish his education. Until 387, Augustine followed the Manichean religion and founded his own school of rhetoric in Rome. After his baptism, he returned to Africa and lived in the community he formed there until his death in 430. His written output there includes Confessions and City of God, among over 113 books. Henry Bettenson (1908-1979) was educated at Bristol University and Oriel College, Oxford. He taught Classics for 25 years at Charterhouse 'Documents of the Christian Church' and 'Early Christian Fathers'. Dr Gill Evans teaches medieval intellectual history, medieval theology and ecumenical theology in the Faculty of History at Cambridge. She has published widely in this area.
