Love's Strategy brings together the best and most popular papers
and lectures of one of the most stimulating voices in contemporary
theological conversation. Here, in striking prose, Johann Baptist
Metz, a founder of "political theology," faithfully attends to the
social, cultural, and economic dimensions of Christian theology.
Using the categories of memory, narrative, and solidarity, Metz
reflects on the future church, theology's role, and the vital
questions of human suffering and hope. The task of theology, he
repeatedly reminds readers, is to perceive the pain and suffering
all over the world with sensitivity. Remembrance of the suffering
of others, he says, is the basic category of Christian talk of God.
A clear overview by John K. Downey locates the principal themes of
Metz's work, organizes the various vectors of his thought, and
provides a focus for reading and discussion. A unique feature of
the book is its inclusion of Metz's first original programmatic
article as well as a newly translated lecture on political theology
and global politics. John K. Downey is Associate Professor of
Religious Studies at Gonzaga University.
