Editorial Reviews
Review
An invaluable and serious theological resource and contribution in itself. -- The Catholic Weekly, Australia
Ashley's translations are very good given the notorious difficulty in rendering Metz's 'poetic' German style in English. -- Catholic Issues
These essays deserve to be pondered, and responded to. -- Pro Ecclesia: A Journal of Catholic and Evangelical Theology
These essays show Metz's theology at its mature best. The translator has done us all a service. -- Anglican Theological Review
This is a very fine collection. -- Sewanee Theological Review
Product Description
Johann Baptist Metz, founder of political theology in Europe, is one of the most significant Roman Catholic theologians working since the Second Vatican Council. In A Passion for God, J. Matthew Ashley edits and translates the most important of Metz's recent essays previously unavailable in English. This compelling and diverse collection reflects on such issues as the crucial place of memory in Christian faith and in society as a whole, the role of religious in the Church, the meaning of the mystical virtue of poverty of spirit and the relationship between Christianity and politics in modernity. A Passion for God includes an introduction by Ashley that surveys Metz's career in the context of postconciliar Catholic theology and offers the reader helpful advice for understanding Metz's work. Those interested in the various aspects of North American liberation as well as political or public theology will find this book to be an invaluable resource.
