Product Details
The Two Cities: A History of Christian Politics was written by Andrew Willard Jones to unveil another view of political history of the West. His premise is with the plot being Christianity is true, in which human history is Church history. The Two Cities offers a view outside the prevailing narrative that says the plot is “progress” and is reinforced constantly. That narrative wants us to believe we progressed from tyranny to freedom, superstition to science, poverty to wealth, and from darkness to enlightenment. Out of it, a consensus has emerged: part of human progress is the overcoming of religion, in particular Christianity, and that the world itself is fundamentally secular.
The Two Cities moves through the rise and fall of empires; cycles of corruption and reform; the rise and fall of Christendom; the emergence of new political forms, such as the modern state, and new political ideologies, such as liberalism and socialism; through the horrible destruction of modern warfare; and on to the plight of contemporary Christians. These movements of history are all considered in light of their orientation toward or away from God. The Two Cities advances a theory of Christian politics that is both an explanation of secular politics and a proposal for Christians seeking to navigate today’s most urgent political questions.
