Best Answer

The early Christian Philosophy of Augustine of Hippo was by and large a rewrite of Plato in a Christian context. Augustine preached that one was not a member of his or her city, but was either a citizen of the City of God (Civitas Dei) or the City of Man (Civitas Terrena). Civitas Terrena is basically an old way of saying "secular society" as opposed to Civitas Dei, meaning society based on the governing laws of religion.
