520			_a"This synthesis of religious and secular knowledge begins as a reply to the charge that Christianity caused the decline of the Roman Empire, with Augustine showing paganism to contain within itself the seeds of its own destruction. He then proceeds to larger themes, ultimately presenting a cosmic interpretation of history in terms of the struggle between good and evil: the City of God in conflict with the Earthly City. This, the first serious attempt at a philosophy of history, was to have incalculable influence in forming European understanding of the relations of church and state and the Christian's place in the temporal order. No book except the Bible itself had a greater influence on the Middle Ages, and even today City of God provides vital insight for understanding our world and the ideas that have shaped Western civilization"-- _cProvided by publisher
