Comment on the Lawless Prophet
If, as I have been saying, covenant baptism reflects God's love for the entire order of creation, then creating urban environments that are ugly, oppressive, and degrading reflects a rebellion against God's purposes. And postwar urban development has been just that.
But where are the voices of the prophets, in words and symbols telling the alternate story of YHWH's love? Where are those who take the beautiful city of New Jerusalem seriously? Where, in other words, are the Christians, marked by baptism??
