Description
Love's Strategy explores the intersection of Christian theology and social reality through the work of Johann Baptist Metz. This collection of papers and lectures examines the role of memory, narrative, and solidarity in shaping our understanding of God and the world.
The task of theology is to perceive the pain and suffering that exists globally with sensitivity, according to Metz. A clear overview by John K. Downey provides a framework for understanding Metz's key themes and ideas, making this book an ideal choice for those seeking to engage with his thought-provoking work.
This edition includes Metz's first original programmatic article, as well as a newly translated lecture on political theology and global politics. A valuable resource for scholars and readers interested in contemporary theological conversation.
