The Secular City: Secularization and Urbanization in Theological Perspective"The rise of urban civilization and the collapse of traditional religion are two hallmarks of our era. This book examines these two phenomena, using both sociological and theological approaches. It is, by and large, a celebration of the new freedom and scope brought to man by secularization and urbanization, and a reminder that the new freedom requires a new maturity and a new measure of responsibility." - Publisher |
