Fundamental to this quest for a just, holy civilization--and one of the critical questions facing us today--has been the progress of humankind on the earth When has human progress served the vision of seeking the  heavenly] city which is to come (Hebrews 13:14) and God's mandate for humanity to fill and rule over the earth? And in what ways has progress undermined that vision?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eSeeking the City\u003c\/em\u003e, Chad Brand and Tom Pratt sketch out a biblical vision for how God providentially works throughout history as well as through society's structures of politics and economy to cause His kingdom, the City of God, to come on earth. Complicating the pursuit of the ideal city is the fact that the ability to make a living is threatened and new pressures to conform to the rising world system will mount as Jesus has warned us. This book will help Christians to understand the times through the trifocal lens of the Bible, history, and theology and then to respond with wisdom to the many pressing issues of the day, including work, wealth, the size of government, taxation, welfare, the environment, and social justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e Theologically grounded, historically conscious, and notably relevant to today's world, Seeking the City presents an invaluable vision for Christian political engagement in the twenty-first century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e--Art Lindsley, PhD, Vice President of Theological Initiatives, Institute for Faith, Work, \u0026amp; Economics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA cogent argument for responsible free-market capitalism.
