In Reply to: Controversial issues in City of God posted by Kathy on October 14, 1998 at 01:33:05:

What you might want to consider is the way in which St. Augustine's The City of God was interpreted, at the time, to be an argument for church rule of the state. Many of today's scholars argue that Augustine would never have intended his work to be interpreted as such, and that he would disagree with the state being ruled by the church.
