This is a new rendition of De Civitate Dei that includes biographical notes, bibliography and a chronology of Augustine's life. It is aimed at students of ecclesiastical history, the history of political thought, theology and philosophy.

St. Augustine, bishop of Hippo, was one of the central figures in the history of Christianity, and 'City of God' is one of his greatest theological works. It examines the ancient pagan religions of Rome, the arguments of the Greek philosophers and the revelations of the Bible.
