520    Le site de l'éditeur indique : "In Five Cities that Ruled 
       the World, theologian Douglas Wilson fuses together, in 
       compelling detail, the critical moments birthed in 
       history's most influential cities --Jerusalem, Athens, 
       Rome, London, and New York. Wilson issues a challenge to 
       our collective understanding of history with the 
       juxtapositions of freedom and its intrinsic failures; 
       liberty and its deep-seated liabilities. Each revelation 
       beckoning us deeper into a city's story, its political 
       systems, and how it flourished and floundered. You'll 
       discover the significance of : Jerusalem's complex history
       and its deep-rooted character as the city of freedom, 
       where people found their spiritual liberty. / Athens' 
       intellectual influence as the city of reason and 
       birthplace of democracy. / Rome's evolution as the city of
       law and justice and the freedoms and limitations that come
       with liberty./ London's place in the world's history as 
       the city of literature where man's literary imagination 
       found its wings. / New York's rise to global fame as the 
       city of commerce and how it triggered unmatched wealth, 
       industry, and trade throughout the world. Five Cities that
       Ruled the World chronicles the destruction, redemption, 
       personalities, and power structures that altered the 
       world's political, spiritual, and moral center time and 
       again. It's an inspiring, enlightening global perspective 
       that encourages readers to honor our shared history, 
       contribute to the present, and look to the future with 
       unmistakable hope."
