Description

Book Synopsis
This edition of Augustine's The City of God provides a text and translation as well as a detailed commentary of this most influential document in the history of western Christianity. Books VIII and IX explore demonology, and the similarities between Platonism and Christianity. Latin text with facing-page translation, introduction and commentary.

Trade Review
'...a good basic tool for students and scholars who wish to read and study Augustine's text in English with the possibility of consulting the Latin original. [...] The present volume is of particular interest to specialists of Apuleius, since a large part of both books 8 and 9 of the City of God is devoted to an elaborate polemic of Augustine against Apuleius' middle-Platonic ideas on demonology.'
