1886. Volume 2 of a 14 volume set. The "City of God" is a masterpiece of the greatest genius among the Latin Fathers that embodies the results of thirteen years of intellectual labor and study. It is a vindication of Christianity against the attacks of the heathen in view of the sacking of the city of Rome by the barbarians. It is the first attempt at a philosophy of history, under the aspect of two rival cities or communities; the eternal city of God and the perishing city of the world. This is the best known and most read work of St. Augustin’s next to his Confessions.

The Nicene Creed, first drafted in A.D. 325 under the auspices of the Roman emperor Constantine, is one of the major ancient statements of Christian faith, still used by Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, Calvinist, and other churches all over the world. In this lovely volume Pauline Baynes, the much-loved illustrator of C. S. Lewis’s "Chronicles of Narnia" and J. R. R. Tolkien’s "Lord of the Rings," has transformed the Nicene Creed into a delightful reading experience as well. Baynes’s exquisite original artwork brings to life the wider meaning and relevan

Eight volume series. Thus Tertullian tells of a company of Christians in Ephesus, who begged martyrdom from the heathen governor, but after a few had been executed, the rest were sent away by him with the words: "Miserable creatures, if you really wish to die, you have precipices and halters enough." Though this error was far less discreditable than the opposite extreme of the cowardly fear of man, yet it was contrary to the instruction and the example of Christ and the apostles,6 3 and to the spirit of true martyrdom, which consists in the union of sincere humility and power, and possesses di
