City on a Hill: Reclaiming the Biblical Pattern for the Church in
the 21st Century
Philip Graham Ryken
We are now living in post-Christian times,
when Christianity no longer is the prevailing influence on the mind and
heart of our culture. But we cannot compromise. More than ever before, it
is imperative that Christians understand and embrace the biblical pattern
for the church. Philip Graham Ryken knows that the changing face of
America makes the need for the church to remain steadfast even more
important. City on a Hill will provide readers with a deeper understanding
of how to live for Christ in the twenty-first century: go back to the
model set out in the first century. Sure to be an encouragement and
challenge to anyone concerned about the effectiveness of the church today.

There was a
time when America was a Christian nation, at least in several important
respects. There was a time when the leaders of this New World sought to
establish a "city on a hill," a community for Christ and His kingdom. There was
a time when our fundamental notions of freedom and justice were firmly embedded
in the bedrock of biblical truth. There was a time when the Bible held a central
place in the curriculum of the public schools and when our leading universities
cultivated the Christian mind. There was a time when average Americans knew
their Bibles well enough that biblical teaching had a strong influence on what
people thought and how they behaved. In short, there was a time when
Christianity shaped the social, political, moral, religious, and intellectual
landscape of these United States. |
