Why is the city a battleground of hostile principalities and
powers? What is the mission of the church in the city? How can the
church be supported in accomplishing that mission? These are the
questions that Robert Linthicum treats in his comprehensive and
probing biblical theology of the city. In the Bible the city is
depicted both as a dwelling place of God and his people and as a
center of power for Satan and his minions. The city is one primary
stage on which the drama of salvation is played out. And that is no
less the case at the end of this pivotal century as megacities
become the focal point of most human activity and aspirations
around the world. This is a timely theology of the city that weaves
the theological images of the Bible and the social realities of the
contemporary world into a revealing tapestry of truths about the
urban experience. Its purpose is to define clearly the mission of
the church in the midst of the urban realities and to support well
the work of the church in the urban world.
