何についての本か
『神の国』の前半。古い神々への反駁と、それらを捨てたためにローマが滅んだという見方への反駁。
背景と歴史
アウグスティヌスが筆を起こしたのは四一三年、ゴート族によるローマ略奪から三年後である。キリスト教国となったがゆえに都は陥ちたのだ、という非難が流布しており、本書はそれに答えるために生まれた。だから前半は神学である前に、まず論争的で歴史的なのだ。十三年を費やし、全二十二巻となった。二冊に分けたのは版の措置である。

And although they do not fear them to such an extent as to be drawn to the commission of like iniquities, nay, not by any threats or violence soever; yet those very deeds which they refuse to share in the commission of, they often decline to find fault with, when possibly they might by finding fault prevent their commission.…
