Concerning the City of God Against the Pagans

I'm not sure how to do a proper review on this given the content, age, length, and subject matters, so I'll keep it simple and say that this made for great Lenten reading. I hadn't planned on choosing this until it caught my eye at the bookstore. I'm glad I picked it up, heavy and dizzying as it could be at times. I feel like I've come away with a lot of insight as well as a lesson in this historical period that I don't often study. I found it often repetitive which made some parts more difficult to sit through than others. Still, I would not have opted for one of the abridged versions just to avoid this.
