A historical approach by the authors Lactantius and Augustinus through their books "The Divine Systems" and "The City of God"

Abstract

The history of the ancient Maghreb is full of scientific, religious and literary figures that had a great influence on human thought, and most of them were written in Latin. Among these are two mystical thinkers and researchers of Christian theology of Afro-Maghreb origin, Lactantius Caecilius Firminus, who is best known for his famous author of the Christian world, The Encyclopedia of "Divine Systems", which had a great influence on medieval and later Renaissance thought. Also, the book "The City of God" by St. Augustine, this book had a great influence on Christian thought and culture. In this work, I will try to present a historical approach to both authors and to know the positives and shortcomings that these works carry to achieve their goals
