Synopsis

Today the West stands at a crossroads. It is facing critical choices as to whether to follow the tried and tested ways of past generations, where the Bible was at the heart of public life, or to abandon its Biblical heritage completely and to embrace a post-Christian worldview, where truth, gender and morality are spread out on a spectrum of infinite choice and possibility. These culture wars are being played out extensively across much of our world today, as we choose whether to make a quantum leap into an unknown destiny, a ‘Brave New World’ where every value that we once held dear has been turned on its head. This book shows how this conflict stems from an ongoing battle running throughout scripture between ‘Babylon’ and ‘Jerusalem’, the kingdom of Satan versus the kingdom of God. We will focus on the implications of this struggle for us in our personal lives, in the church, and in our wider social setting. We will also consider how we as Christians are called to stand against an increasing tide of moral anarchy and yet to engage constructively and compassionately with the world around us. And we will gaze at the glory of the New Jerusalem, to which everything within the human spirit unconsciously aspires, and reflect on how this inner longing has impacted the history of the human civilisation, and is still reflected in many aspects of our culture today.This book is ideal for anyone who wants to understand more about the main trends in contemporary society, their historical roots, and the Biblical background behind them. For anyone interested in the theme of Babylon and its historical background it will provide valuable insight into a vital Biblical topic. It may also help those seeking to extend God’s kingdom within their personal lives. Above all it is a challenge to each of us as individuals, and to the church in general, to impact the world around us for good, and to turn ‘Babel values’ back into ‘Bible values’.
