The Two Cities of God: The Church's Responsibility for the Earthly City

by Carl E. Braaten (Editor), Robert W. Jenson (Editor)

The chapters of this book offer informed perspectives on a "theology of the world," exploring the question: How does/should the church relate to the secular world? The standard dogma of the 1960s was Let the world set the agenda! Such a perspective has often caused the American church merely to reflect, rather than to inform and lead, the society in which it lives. Surely, say the authors of this volume, it must be the other way around. Contributors: Robert Benne, Robert W. Jenson, Carl E. Braaten, Gilbert Meilaender, Christopher R. Seitz, Anthony Ugolnik, George Weigel, Robert L. Wilken
