THE CITY OF GOD - AUGUSTINUS VON HIPPO TASCHENBUCH

The City of God is a book of Christian philosophy written in Latin by Augustine of Hippo in the
early 5th century AD. The book was in response to allegations that Christianity brought about
the decline of Rome and is considered one of Augustine's most important works. Augustine wrote
The City of God as an argument for the truth of Christianity over competing religions and
philosophies. He argues that Christianity was not responsible for the Sack of Rome  but instead
responsible for its success. Even if the earthly rule of the Empire was imperiled  it was the
City of God that would ultimately triumph. As a work of one of the most influential Church
Fathers  The City of God is a cornerstone of Western thought  expounding on many profound
questions of theology  such as the suffering of the righteous  the existence of evil  the
conflict between free will and divine omniscience  and the doctrine of original sin.
