Cities on the plainsdivinity and diversity /[electronic resource] :Char Roone Miller. - 1st ed. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2009. - 195 p. ;22 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Introduction: Cities and Gods -- Sodom: Hospitality and Conflict -- Athens: "A Wonderful Accusation": Demon of Decision -- Rome: Demons, Destruction and Difference -- Cordoba: Belief and Belonging -- WashingtonD.C.: City and Pillar -- Conclusion: City on the Hill.

Theological concepts continue to maintain political concepts well after those theological concepts are no longer supported by belief. Cities on the Plains examines some of these concepts in the light of five different times and places. It is both a response to theological concerns in contemporary political theory and broadly accessible examination of familiar political issues touched by the divine - such as gay marriage, 911, or the French tradition of laicite. Concerns of differenceand the divine are pursued through broadly familiar texts (the Bible, and Gore Vidal), significant texts of political theory (Plato and Augustine), and less common texts (Averroes). Gods, or the intellectual territory they used to occupy, are treated as important features of the political; contesting with these gods can help us visit, defend, and desire, (to paraphrase Deleuze and Guatarri) new cities and new peoples.
