The City of God, Volume I Bishop of Hippo Saint Augustine – «The glorious city of God is my theme in this work; which you; my dearest son Marcellinus; suggested; and which is due to you by my promise. I have undertaken its defence against those who prefer their own gods to the Founder of this city;a city surpassingly glorious; whether we view it as it still lives by faith in this fleeting course of time; and sojourns as a stranger in the midst of the ungodly; or as it shall dwell in the fixed stability of its eternal seat; which it now with patience waits for; expecting until „righteousness shall return unto judgment;“ and it obtain; by virtue of its excellence; final victory and perfect peace. A great work this; and an arduous; but God is my helper.» -an excerpt
