Augustine of Hippo - The City of God (Part 1 of 69)

Rome was sacked in 410 AD.  The event was such a shock that people were looking for an explanation for it and began blaming the Christians.  Augustine responded with his book City of God.  Here's a video that summarizes it for it is a very long work.

It is said to have a profound impact upon Western Civilization.  For such an apparent important book, I've never read it.  Interesting that someone like me could go through the American education system and not being familiar with a book of such importance.
