Augustine: De civitate Dei. City of God book V

edited with an Introduction, Translation and Commentary by P.G. Walsh

This edition of St Augustine's City of God is the only one in English to provide a text and translation as well as a detailed commentary of this most influential document in the history of western Christianity. In this book, written in the aftermath of the sack of Rome in AD 410 by the Goths, Augustine replies to the pagans, who attributed the fall of Rome to the Christian religion and its prohibition of the worship of the pagan gods. Latin text with facing-page translation, introduction and commentary 252p (Classical Texts, Aris & Phillips, an imprint of Oxbow Books 2009)
