From the back cover
Here is a book that was written over fifteen hundred years ago by a mystic in North Africa. Yet to those who have ears to hear, it has a great deal to say to many of us who are not mystics, today, in America... The City of God is the autobiography of the Church written by the most Catholic of her great saints... The City of God, for those who can understand it, contains the secrets of death and life, war and peace, hell and heaven. -Thomas Merton
