Cities of God traces urban culture of north America and Western Europe duringthe 1970s to ask how theology can respond to the postmodern city. Since HarveyCox published his famous theological response to urban living during the mid1960s very little has been written to address this fundamental subject. Throughanalyses of contemporary film architecture literature and traditionaltheological resources in Augustine and Gregory of Nyssa Graham Ward lays out asystematic theology which has the preparation and building of cities as itsfocus. This is vital reading for all those interested in theology and urbanliving. «
