Rezensionen
(Church Times, 27 March 2015)
"This book is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of cities -- and that ought to be pretty much everyone, given that well over half the world's population now lives in cites, up from 29 per cent in 1950. In any event, Revelation makes it clear that if we don't live in one now, we shall, God willing."

"A quite exceptionally original and timely book, which combines deep knowledge of the Christian tradition with sensitivity to the issues of urban life today, and offers fresh insight into what the sacramental community of Christian faith brings to our current anxieties about social cohesion, justice and inclusion."

"This is an extraordinarily thoughtful book. In carefully tracing the history of Christian thought on the city, Philip Sheldrake shows how a sense of the sacred can replenish the urban aesthetic and lives led today largely in environments that push belonging, community and fulfilment to the very edge of togetherness. A compelling and beautifully written book."

s population now live in
cities, and the balance between town and country changes day by
day. Christian understandings of the city have often been negative,
but Sheldrake shows that there is a rich tradition of thinking
about the city throughout Christian history. This tradition can
contribute to the moral and spiritual vision which is essential if
cities are to continue to be humanising and hopeful places, spaces
of reconciliation rather than alienation. In dialogue with
geographers, philosophers as well as social theorists Sheldrake
sets out a rich and complex vision of how Christian thinking can
contribute to a world wide debate. Tim Gorringe, University of
Exeter
