In this thought-provoking episode of Just the Books, we explore how Augustine’s City of God speaks powerfully into today’s cultural, political, and spiritual landscape. Written in the 5th century during the fall of Rome, Augustine’s monumental work draws a sharp contrast between the City of Man and the City of God—a distinction that still helps us navigate the tension between earthly kingdoms and our eternal citizenship.
What can Augustine teach us about Christian identity, civic responsibility, and hope in a fractured world? How should believers think about power, politics, and culture in light of heavenly priorities? Whether you're new to the book or revisiting it, this conversation is full of insight for faithful living in turbulent times.
