《上帝之城》第十五和十六卷围绕"复活之子"的观念,论述了"希望求告上帝的名"与教会论之间的关系,阐释了教会作为地上之城的羁旅的含义。本文指出奥古斯丁历史哲学视野下教会的福音性本质,即教会是流动着的爱的会幕。奥古斯丁又把这种福音性的爱进一步表达为公民的责任,告诫教会不仅要警惕他自身与世俗的权柄之间的关系,而且要警惕以在天的权柄即在上帝之名下拥有权柄介入世俗共同体的界限。奥古斯丁以他对教会的福音性理解诠释了"为我们的上帝"的历史性。

In his The City of God vol. 15 and 16,Augustine discussed the idea of"the Son of Resurrection",expounding the relationship between ‘the hope to pray in the name of God' and the doctrine of Church,and discoursing the meaning of Church as a stay of the city on the earth. This assay indicates the evangelical nature of the church in the view of historical philosophy of Augustine,namely church being the flowing Tent of love. Augustine further expressed this evangelical love as the responsibility of citizens,warning the church not only against the relationship of itself and the world power,but also against the limit of interference the heaven power in the world power in the name of God. Augustine explained the historic nature of"God for us"according to his understanding of church from the view of gospel.
