Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Series I/Volume II/City of God/Book XIX

Book XIX.

————————————

Argument—In this book the end of the two cities, the earthly and the heavenly, is discussed.&#160; Augustin reviews the opinions of the philosophers regarding the supreme good, and their vain efforts to make for themselves a happiness in this life; and, while he refutes these, he takes occasion to show what the peace and happiness belonging to the heavenly city, or the people of Christ, are both now and hereafter.
