Urban Christianity and Global Order: Theological Resources for an Urban Future

This is the first book to bring together current urban theory and theology in a form that may be used as a textbook for urban theology courses, as well as being accessible to the general reader. Urban Christianity and Global Order offers a new understanding of urban experience in the Bible and its relevance for Christian engagement in the urban context of the twenty-first century. It explores how globalization is affecting communities worldwide and seeks for a new pattern of local and global Christian mission.
