I'm most of the way through Tim Chester's excellent book From Creation to New Creation, which is a book on the story of the Bible through the lens of Genesis 12 and the promises to Abraham. This quote seemed interesting and worth sharing. All the nations are gathered in heaven in the last day and bring their rich cultures with them...
A characteristic of imperialism ever since Babel has been its move towards ethnic and linguistic homogeneity. But the 'empire' of the Lamb is different. It celebrates diversity. (153)(Chester is best known perhaps for his book Total Church, but he has a number of excellent resources available. Check the Westminster Bookstore as well as Amazon.)
