Book Overview
Zion, a unified community of people, has been the focus of prophetic teaching for millennia. Establishing Zion: Foundations for a Millennial Society looks at how Zion will function practically, beyond the personal righteousness of those who live there. It looks at questions like: Who will pick up the garbage and fix the streets? How will poverty be eliminated? In what ways will family life differ? How will organizations and governments change?
Dr. Lawrence Walters has devoted his career to improving local governments. The vision he puts forward is not a distant view of a future Zion; rather, he lays out five foundational principles to guide the efforts of those who actively seek to establish Zion today. He explores how the role of the Church has evolved. Through scripture and professional insights, he outlines an approach for eliminating world poverty. Drawing on prophetic teachings, he identifies the inspired principles that will underpin governance in Zion and illustrates how engaged citizens will influence their communities.
Building Zion requires that we create and actively lead our communities and organizations to a higher and holier plane. Establishing Zion: Foundations for a Millennial Society identifies principles and provides guidance on their practical applications. It offers Latter-day Saints a richer, more constructive vision of Zion and what they can do to make it a reality.
