The Divine Conspiracy Continued: Fulfilling God's Kingdom on Earth (HarperOne, 2014; 352 pages), written with Gary Black Jr., is the sequel to The Divine Conspiracy (1998) and continues Willard's teaching on the kingdom of God. It argues that Christians are called not to withdraw from the world but to take up positions of leadership in society through their professions and occupations, acting as agents of the kingdom for the common good. According to the Willard family's site the book grew out of a course he designed at the University of Southern California, The Professions and the Public Interest in American Life, and its manuscript was largely assembled before his death in May 2013. It was published the following year.
