⭐ Catholic Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Catholic Review One of the foundational works of Catholic thought, The City of God responds to the crisis surrounding the sack of Rome while developing Augustine's sweeping vision of human history, sin, grace, divine providence, the Church, the earthly and heavenly cities, judgment, resurrection, and eternal happiness. The 22-book work ultimately directs the reader toward the eternal destiny of the saints and life with God. For Catholic listeners, this is an exceptionally rich classic of theology, philosophy, history, and Christian apologetics.
