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. The modern sites of eternal aspiration and hope
became the post modern cities of eternal desires. The old, modern
theological responses to the city become unbelievable and
inadequate, necessitating a new theological approach to urban
living. Such an approach would have to engage with and respond to
the insurgent social atomism and the celebration of virtual
realities evident in the late capitalist, post modern civic living.
The book seeks to develop that approach, emphasizing the analogical
relations which exist between physical, ecclesial, sacramental,
social and political bodies. It argues for a profound participation
of all these bodies in the Body of Christ. Working through analyses
of contemporary film, architecture and literature, and drawing upon
traditional theological resources in 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.
