The City of God


Book Description
Classic "Modern Library" version of THE CITY OF GOD with an introduction by Thomas Merton when he was cloistered at his Cistercian Monastery. It is a hidden autobiography and philosophical writing of Saint Augustine. Worth reading for its historical value and because of how it shaped much of the religious and philosophical thought of the west.
