Augustine's Critique of Roman Gods and Concept of Two Cities

The chapter explores Augustine's critique of the Roman pantheon of gods and his comparison with the Christian God, emphasizing the superiority of the latter. It delves into Augustine's concept of the two cities - the earthly city and the city of God - discussing themes of love, moral communities, and the intertwining of the church and secular world. Augustine's reflections on history, secularization, and the evolution of the city of God are also major points of discussion, with references to societal justice and the distinction between legitimate kingdoms and other communities.
