From the first pages of Genesis to the final words of Revelation, the theme of the city of God is prominent. In fact, at the climax of God's plan for the world lies an extraordinary city unlike any other. Linking the garden of Eden to the New Jerusalem, this new book in the Short Studies in Biblical Theology series traces the development of the theme of city throughout the lives of Adam and Eve, Abraham, Moses, the prophets, David, Solomon, and Jesus—instilling hope in readers as they see God's purpose throughout the Scriptures to dwell with his redeemed people in the greatest city to come.
