The Imaginative Conservative: The Enduring City of God
St. Augustine's "The City of God" was written in response to the fall of Rome and the ensuing public despair, aiming to provide moral guidance and a vision for a new Christian civilization. Completed in 426, it critiques the belief that Rome's decline was due to the rise of Christianity, instead emphasizing the need for hope amidst chaos.
