Description:
Beginning with an account of how Christian theology is called upon to read the signs of the time, Cities of God traces the shift in urban culture in North America and Western Europe that took place in the 1970s. Such an approach responds to the insurgent social atomism and the celebration of virtual realities evident in late capitalist, post-modern civic living. Working through analysis of contemporary film, architecture and literature, and drawing upon Augustine and Gregory of Nyssa, the book lays out a systematic theology which has the preparation and building of cities of God as its focus.
