" " , , , " ", , " " , " " , , Synopsis: The City of God by Augustine has its roots in Manichaeism with its concepts of two deities of good and evil and of dualism of black and white, rather than in the Bible. I refer to Augustine's The City of God as A Tale of Two Cities, which raises more questions than answered. There are indeed no answers to the questions it attempts to answer, for it is beyond humans to provide answers. Augustine, like all other theologians, tended to find answers to all questions, subconsciously believing he was the reincarnation of God, perhaps.
