Es una apolog\u00eda del cristianismo, en la que se confronta la Ciudad Celestial a la Ciudad Pagana. Las numerosas digresiones permiten al autor tratar temas de muy diversa \u00edndole, como la naturaleza de Dios, el martirio o el juda\u00edsmo, el origen y la sustancialidad del bien y del mal, el pecado y la culpa, la muerte, el derecho y la ley, la contingencia y la necesidad, el tiempo y el espacio, la Providencia, el destino y la historia, entre otros muchos temas. El libro se estructura a partir de la contraposici\u00f3n entre la Ciudad de Dios (que representa el Cristianismo, y por tanto la verdad espiritual) y la ciudad pagana (que representa la decadencia y el pecado). El autor estaba conmocionado por la ca\u00edda de Roma a manos de Alarico I. El desconcierto que provoc\u00f3 la entrada de los b\u00e1rbaros en la Ciudad donde resid\u00eda el Papa, y que hab\u00eda sido referente del Cristianismo desde Constantino I y especialmente desde Teodosio I, le hizo cuestionarse acerca del hecho de la desaparici\u00f3n de una civilizaci\u00f3n entera. La respuesta a esta cuesti\u00f3n es que el edificio al cual conviene aliarse y en el cual conviene trabajar no es la Ciudad de los Hombres, sino la Ciudad de Dios. El objetivo de esta obra es, por tanto, examinar la oposici\u00f3n entre ambas ciudades, sus or\u00edgenes, su desarrollo y su final. Desde el primer momento (libros 1 al 10), Agust\u00edn trata la religi\u00f3n de la Antig\u00fcedad como supersticiosa: por un lado, refuta que se adore a los dioses por el simple motivo de las ventajas que reporten (libros 1 a 5), y por otra parte, contradice a los que buscan por esa misma v\u00eda la felicidad eterna (libros 6 a 10). Los libros 11 a 22 se consagran al origen y la oposici\u00f3n entre ambas ciudades. El libro muestra otro enfoque acerca de la creaci\u00f3n y lo que nos espera en la vida despu\u00e9s de la muerte. No descubre nada nuevo sobre la historia, sencillamente como el resultado, de una serie de principios universales. Lo que San Agust\u00edn nos ofrece es una s\u00edntesis de historia universal a la luz de los principios cristianos. Su teor\u00eda de la historia procede estrictamente de la que tiene sobre la naturaleza humana. Que a la vez deriva de su teolog\u00eda de la creaci\u00f3n y de la gracia. No es una teor\u00eda racionalista, si se considera que se inicia y termina con dogmas revelados; pero s\u00ed es racional por la l\u00f3gica estricta de su procedimiento e implica una teor\u00eda definitivamente filos\u00f3fica y racional sobre la naturaleza de la sociedad y de la ley, y la relaci\u00f3n entre la vida y la \u00e9tica.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>San Agust\u00edn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":98949,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"product_brand":[23],"product_cat":[5808,5807,5806,14384],"product_tag":[5855],"class_list":["post-28574","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-epub-paradise","product_cat-ebooks","product_cat-epub","product_cat-espanol","product_cat-san-agustin","product_tag-espiritualidad","desktop-align-center","tablet-align-left","mobile-align-center","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-variable"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
