520 1  "St. Augustine, bishop of Hippo, is one of the central 
       figures in the history of Christianity, and City of God is
       one of his greatest theological works. Written as an 
       eloquent defense of the faith at a time when the Roman 
       Empire was on the brink of collapse, it examines the 
       ancient pagan religions of Rome, the arguments of the 
       Greek philosophers and the revelations of the Bible. 
       Pointing the way forward to a citizenship that transcends 
       worldly politics and will last for eternity, City of God 
       is one of the most influential documents in the 
       development of Christianity. This edition contains a new 
       introduction that examines the text in the light of 
       contemporary Greek and Roman thought and political change.
       It demonstrates the importance of religious and literary 
       influences on St. Augustine and his significance as a 
       Christian thinker. There is also a chronology and a 
       bibliography."--Publisher's information.
