《上帝之城》的两部分架构
奥古斯丁将这部巨著分为两大主要部分:前十卷驳斥异教谬误,后十二卷正面阐述“两座城”的教义。本思维导图梳理了从护教辩护到神学建构的逻辑进程。
核心教义:两座城
奥古斯丁著作的核心神学框架是“两座城”教义——上帝之城与地上之城——追溯其从天使分离的起源,贯穿人类历史,直至最终归宿。本思维导图突出关键教义之间的依赖关系。

Theological Dependencies and Argument Chain
Augustine's arguments build upon each other in a carefully constructed chain of theological dependencies. Each doctrine supports and necessitates the next, creating an integrated system of thought.
Key Theological Concepts Defined
Augustine carefully defines and distinguishes key theological concepts throughout his argument. This mindmap collects the essential definitions that structure his refutations and positive exposition.
