The City of God, Volume I

When Rome burned, Augustine answered pagan accusations with a sweeping theology of two cities—divine and earthly—that reframed the meaning of history itself, locating the true City of God not in empire but in the fellowship of souls oriented toward eternal beatitude.

The Trinity Revealed in Creation

Augustine discerns hints of the Trinity in the creation account. The Father is the Creator who says, “Let there be.” The Son is the Word through whom all things were made. The Holy Spirit is the goodness of the creation. Thus the threefold “who made it? by what means? why?” points mysteriously to the triune God.
