The City: Part 1

Prominent theologian Jacques Ellul makes the point in his book The Meaning of the City that the original concept of the city in the Bible was part of man's rebellion against God. The first city is described in Genesis 4 as a product of Cain's desire to settle down and make a name for himself rather than be a wanderer on the earth as God had ordered.
