The City of God, Books 1-5 of the 22 Total

The City of God was written over a long period of time, and because Augustine's organizational style was always kind of digressive. Later books of the long treatise often repeat content that's been covered in earlier books or simply augment earlier content with small variations. We're going to move through the second quarter of the City of God a bit more quickly, just because we've already seen the main thrust of Augustine's critique of pagan ideology. He is correct, and everything that fails to fall within his specific branch of Christianity is incorrect.
