Deeply biblical in its argument, thoroughly conversant with contemporary culture and practically informed by personal involvement in urban ministry, this is a book for the hour. It awakens Christians to their identity within society and to their eternal destiny, instructing them in the one right thing to "Be God's people in the midst of this world's culture."
James Montgomery Boice was a Reformed theologian, Bible teacher, and pastor of Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia from 1968 until his death in 2000. He was also president and cofounder of the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals, the parent organization of The Bible Study Hour on which Boice was a speaker for more than thirty years.
"Whether thinking about how to win culture wars or just how to survive in an increasing hostile world, Christians in the United States have spent a good deal of time and energy trying to articulate the best way to philosophically and practically live in this world. The famous former pastor of Philadelphia’s Tenth Presbyterian Church James Montgomery Boice was no exception, except for the fact that his book Foundations of God’s City: Christians in a Crumbling Culture is excellent, where many such books are (at best) mediocre."
