My series on Babel returns on TGR:

To be God’s people faithfully and fully, we must work God’s way. This calling can be carried out individually under any circumstances. The Roman slave toiling for pagan masters in isolation from the church is serving Christ, we are told. But it is not enough for God’s mission that his followers are faithful individually. God also builds a people for himself, working together to work God’s way insofar as circumstances permit. Between Genesis 11 and Acts 2, this apparently requires a covenant nation – a national community dedicated to working God’s way.

Let me know what you think!
