This is an authoritative text on christianity. As an advocate of just war theory and military ethics this is the foundational text of that discipline. In addition, this text debunks the myth or notion of pacifism. Perhaps bishops of the h Holy Catholic church should read St. Augustine, as should other religious leaders in different demoninations. Perhaps we should all read St. Augustine for he makes cleasr that there is a war raging between good and evil, the City of God and the City of Evil. We must all come to grips with who shall win this war- good or evil. This does not mean our political leaders can lead us into conflicts that are not just, quite the contrary.
Classic book in a great format

This book was ok, being abridged and all. I would suggest going ahead and getting the unabridged version, because there is so much left out of this abridged version. For a work like this where there are so many ideas to be pondered and such a genius of a author (Saint Augustine), the unabridged complete edition would be the most complete and comprehensive book. Hope it helped!
Ei bought this book because I'm studing about the ancient church. I think St Agustine is one of the Western fathers who truthfully defended Orthodoxy. I would recommend people
