Die berühmte philosophisch-theologische Schrift des Augustinus in einer einbändigen Ausgabe. Nach seinen berühmten ›Bekenntnissen‹, in denen Augustinus seine Bekehrung zum Christentum erzählte, entstand in den Jahren 413-426 die zweite philosophisch-theologische Abhandlung ›Vom Gottesstaat‹. Sie umfaßt 22 Bücher und ist als Verteidigungsschrift angelegt, weil man dem Christentum den Untergang des römischen Reiches anlastete. Die Zurückweisung dieses Vorwurfs und Rechtfertigung sind Gegenstand der ersten 10 Bücher. In den folgenden aber entwickelt der große abendländische Kirchenlehrer seine Theorie vom Gottesstaat, der als moralische Instanz dem von Selbstliebe und Eigennutz geprägten Weltstaat überlegen ist. Basis dieses weltgeschichtlichen Erklärungsmodells, das das Geschichtsbild und alle Geschichtstheorien bis in die Neuzeit wesentlich mitgeprägt hat, ist die Offenbarung.
