Two Cities, Two Loves: Christian Responsibility in a Crumbling Culture (James Montgomery Boice)

Description

Christians belong to God’s kingdom but live in earthly realms that celebrate radically different loves and priorities. A gifted preacher and respected expositor of God’s Word, James Montgomery Boice highlights the dangers we face—dangers familiar to God’s people throughout the millennia—while offering practical, biblical wisdom and comfort for our sojourn.

This is a revised and updated edition of James Boice's 1996 work by the same title.

“Grounded in solid biblical exposition and informed by Augustine’s classic City of God, James Boice provides a transforming vision. We’ve never needed it more.”

—Michael Horton, Professor of Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary California

“Two Cities, Two Loves reads like it was written from today’s news media yet is also drawn from Augustine’s ancient wisdom. As evangelical confusion about God, government, and the church continues to divide, Boice speaks as a godly sage, urging pastors and leaders to thoughtful gospel influence in our secular society. I highly recommend it!”

—Steve Dewitt, Senior Pastor, Bethel Church, Indiana
