Abstract
Abstract The City of God, like other major works of Augustine-such as the De Trinitate (begun in 399 and concluded in the years 422-6) and De Genesi ad Litteram (written between 401 and 414)-took shape over several years. In common with the other works just mentioned, it explores central themes of Augustine’s thought. Thus Books 11-14 of the City of God give Augustine’s culminating account of the opening chapters of Genesis: it is not as broad an exegesis as that found in De Genesi ad Litteram (itself the continuation of two earlier Genesis commentaries by Augustiner), but it demonstrates, because of his repeated concentration on certain thematic clusters, that Augustine’s ideas continued to develop.
