The other day, my colleague Joel Korytko started talking about Genesis, Cain, and the city. Right away, I asked him: Have you read Jacques Ellul's Meaning of the City? Joel hadn't read it, so I sent him some sections. After that, we decided it made sense to start talking about it and hit record. What resulted was a three-part conversation on Genesis, Civilization & The City.

This is the third part.
