Description:	This book is about the social ethics of the cosmopolitan global city marked by public resurgence of religions. Ever since Harvey Cox published his The Secular City (1965) there have been few rigorous theological analyses and responses to the city. Graham Ward in his Cities of God (2000) challenged Cox’s liberal theological analysis of the modern city from a radical orthodoxy perspective. There is no pentecostal theological analysis of cities, especially as it relates to the globalizing world and the emergence of what sociologist Saskia Sassen calls the global city. The Charismatic City fills this void. Beginning with an account of how the Church is based on the voluntary principle and the structuring of divine presence in the world, the book traces the shifts in the paradigmatic forms of the city that took place over centuries and resulted in the emergence of the Charismatic City.
