Abstract

[The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the kingdoms of this world and of God. This pneumatological understanding of the cities of this world provides an alternative to Augustinian visions that divide the Spirit’s work between two cities and two kingdoms. Cultural production, the life of the city, can not only emerge from the Spirit’s creative-redemptive work but also be redeemed in the new creation. The corrupt way of Babylon fades away, but the Spirit of Pentecost is at work in Babylon bringing the renewal of the new creation and laying the foundations of the New Jerusalem. Continuity between life in this world and the one to come triumphs over discontinuity. That continuity is the foundation of a Pentecostal political theology, a pneumatological realism that sees the life of the city arising from the Holy Spirit.]
