The heavenly city of God resurrects the cities of men.
Jesus Christ laid bare the false promises of the ancient gods and re-centered human institutions around Himself. Only the church can answer the decay of liberal order while transcending the false promises of the ancient gods of family, nation, and city-state. In the Civitas vision of a distinctly ecclesiocentric postliberalism, the church is the Christian’s first family, city, and nation.
The church is God’s revelation that there is another, eternal kingdom against whose walls hell shall not prevail. Postliberalism must be ecclesiocentric if there is any promise for postliberalism at all.
