To love the city

**A new edition of the second part of Center Church

Many Christian leaders today struggle to reach a growing post-Christian culture without compromising orthodox theology. How do we communicate the concepts of sin, grace, and atonement in our culture and contexts?

In his award-winning book, Center Church, bestselling author and pastor Timothy Keller outlines a theological vision organized around three commitments: gospel, city, and movement. In Loving the City, Keller presents a biblical framework with which Christians can interact with culture in a respectful yet challenging way. He articulates the key characteristics of a vision for the city, showing how the theme of the city develops throughout all of Scripture, from its origins in creation to its culmination in glorious redemption. Keller unpacks four biblical models for interacting with culture and shows the strengths and weaknesses of each, then challenges ministry leaders, whatever their background, to incorporate the key theological reflections of each model.

This edition develops the content of the second part of Center Church in an easy-to-read format, and also includes reflections from three contributors—Daniel Strange, Gabriel Salguero, and Andy Crouch—who will delve into the topics of sharing our beliefs with non-believers, idolatry in methodology, and the introduction of a cultural attraction model rooted in the imago Dei, as well as Timothy Keller's profound responses to these topics.
