Aurelius Augustine was a Christian theologian and philosopher, influential preacher, Bishop of Hippo, and one of the Fathers of the Christian Church.
The most famous work of the philosopher and theologian Aurelius Augustine, On the City of God, written shortly after the sacking of Rome by the Visigoths, consists of two main parts. The first ten books explain the reasons for the inevitable fall of paganism, while the last ten books describe the coming triumph of God's righteous. Augustine views the entire history of mankind as the coexistence of two spheres: the higher "hail of God" and the sinful "hail of earth," where some are destined to "reign eternally with God" and others to "undergo eternal punishment with the devil."
