Theme of Agustine, City of God

The City of God contrasts two societies: the earthly city rooted in self-love and sin, destined for destruction, and the heavenly city founded on love for God, which offers eternal peace and salvation. Augustine encourages Christians to live as citizens of the heavenly city amid a fallen world.

Augustine, City of god

"Two loves have made two cities: the earthly by the love of self, even to the contempt of God; the heavenly by the love of God, even to the contempt of self."

Augustine, City of god

"The earthly city, therefore, does not rest on the love of God but on the love of self, even to the contempt of God."
