City of God (reference to Augustine's eschatology)
Book •
In City of God Augustine responds to claims that Christianity caused Rome's fall and develops a Christian philosophy of history contrasting the earthly city (driven by self-love) with the city of God (driven by love of God).
The work addresses sin, grace, providence, and eschatology while defending Christian faith against pagan critiques.
Augustine articulates doctrines of original sin, divine justice, and the nature of the resurrected body, influencing Western Christian thought profoundly.
His discussions of eschatological flesh and eternal punishment consolidated theological positions that would become standard in later orthodoxy.
The City of God is both apologetic and systematic, offering theological reflection across biblical interpretation, philosophy, and history.
