La ciudad de Dios, 1

Libros I-VII

Agustín, Santo, Obispo de Hipona

Saint Augustine is one of the most fascinating and complex personalities in the history of Christianity. One of his most important works is, without a doubt, The City of God (de civitate Dei), written in the years of the taking of Rome in the hands of the Visigoths. It establishes for the first time the idea of ??the parallel between the divine State and the earthly State, of great historical influence on the politics and laws of Western history. This volume includes Books I-VII, preceded by a comprehensive revised and updated introductory study. In its initial part, Saint Augustine refutes the accusations that Rome had fallen due to the pernicious effect of Christianity, at the same time that he censures paganism and the worship of many gods. The author uses a multitude of examples from the history of Rome, which he shows to know very well. The second part of the book is devoted to its main theme, divine providence, and its presence in the history of mankind. In it, the spiritual city, created by God and built by those who believe in Him, and the earthly city, founded by worldly selfishness and injustice, are opposed.
