Book Description

Excerpt from St. Augustine's Treatise on the City of God: Abridged He also makes two corrections in the tenth and seventeenth books. Referring to his description of the flames that descended from heaven, he tells us that it was a mistake to regard it as a miracle, seeing that it occurred in a vision, and he alters the statement with regard to Samuel that he was not of the sons of Aaron, to he was not the son of the priest.
