Editorial Reviews

Never has the need been greater for the message of this book to be heard than it is today. We must act now as salt and light in this decadent society. Read every line of this book, process its teaching, and stand strong in this fallen world.

Steven J. Lawson

Grounded in solid biblical exposition and informed by Augustine’s classic City of God, James Boice provides a transforming vision. We’ve never needed it more.

Michael Horton

As relevant as it was when it was first published (maybe more so?), Two Cities, Two Loves will be profitable for Christians who desire to be “blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation.” Read this book carefully, prayerfully, and with a will to take your part.

Mike Bullmore

Books that stand the test of time are rare. This new edition of Boice’s Two Cities, Two Loves reads like it was written from today’s news media yet is also drawn from Augustine’s ancient wisdom. As evangelical confusion about God, government, and the church continues to divide, Boice speaks as a godly sage, urging pastors and leaders to thoughtful gospel influence in our secular society. I highly recommend it!

The city of God (New Jerusalem) and the city of man (Babylon the Great) have been locked in a titanic struggle since the garden of Eden and the fall. Someday Babylon will be defeated and banished to the eternal hell it deserves. The New Jerusalem will be realized and established forever as God’s city. Until that day, followers of Christ need to know how to think and how to live in a world that looks more like Babylon than Jerusalem. This new edition of Two Cities, Two Loves by a hero of mine, James Boice, shows us how this can be done. I gladly commend these studies. Your heart, mind, and soul will be enriched and equipped for the battle we are called to fight until King Jesus comes again.

Danny Akin

Never has the need been greater for the message of this book to be heard than it is today. Written by the renown expositor and gifted theologian, James Montgomery Boice, the truth of Two Cities, Two Loves, is more relevant today than when it was first written almost thirty years ago. The sub-title of this book—Christian Responsibility in a Crumbling Culture—says it all. We must act now as salt and light in this decadent society. Read every line of this book, process its teaching, and stand strong in this fallen world.
