The City of God - St. Augustine's Defense of Christianity

Support me on patreon (thank you!):   / grahamscheper   This is a work that surprisingly doesn't have a lot of information publicly available compared to how important and influential it was on the western world. I decided to make a quick video highlighting the parts I found most important and most interesting. Enjoy! #staugustine #latin #churchhistory The Loeb editions: Vol I: https://amzn.to/3LwAhzI Vol II: https://amzn.to/47QZ9d6 Vol III: https://amzn.to/3LT5b5m Vol IV: https://amzn.to/43KhmYD Vol V: https://amzn.to/4hQtjBA Vol VI: https://amzn.to/3LBQVxO Vol VII: https://amzn.to/3XkWtPM The Dods standalone translation: https://amzn.to/4hR2Y6F ^ These are affiliate links, so any book you buy with these links (for no added cost) actually supports the channel.
