Description: "The City of God, written in the aftermath of the Gothic sack of Rome in A.D. 410, is the most influential of Augustine's works. It played a decisive role in the formation of the culture of the Christian West. Gerard O'Daly's book is the first comprehensive modern guide to it in any language." "The book should prove of value to Augustine's wide readership among students of late antiquity, theologians, philosophers, medievalists, Renaissance scholars, and historians of art and iconography."--Jacket.
