Biblically speaking, The City of God is King David’s “City on a Hill,” also spoken of as Mount Zion. Historically, it was the highest point in Jerusalem and the place where the glory of God came and rested. People from that region—and not only the Jews—came to the City on a Hill to experience the glory and presence of God.

Sometime in the early 400’s, Christian St. Augustine wrote and published a collection of books titled The City of God. It is considered one of the masterpieces of Western Culture.
