The City of God
De civitate Dei contra paganos
Augustine of Hippo · Written 413–426 · Latin
Begun three years after Alaric's sack of Rome and finished thirteen years later, Augustine's longest work answers the pagan charge that Christianity had weakened the empire, then broadens into a sweeping contrast between the City of God and the City of Man across the whole of human history. It runs to twenty-two books, and this catalogue holds three of the English translations made of it, across six editions.
