This has been a prolific year for Dr. Metzger! In addition to other recent releases (here and here), A World for All?: Global Civil Society in Political Theory and Trinitarian Theology is a new volume co-edited by Dr. Paul Louis Metzger, Dr. William F. Storrar, and Dr. Peter J. Casarella.

This book reflects on globalization, ethics, and religion, social theorists and theologians consider answers to this pivotal question. In their ecumenical, interdisciplinary dialogue, capped off by five local case studies from around the world, they contemplate a globally inclusive social vision unbounded by national and ethnic borders and examine the ongoing relationship between civil society and the church that worships a Trinitarian God.

Contributors include Daniela C. Augustine, Alexander Broadie, J. Kameron Carter, Peter J. Casarella, William J. Danaher, Kimberly Hutchings, Kristen Deede Johnson, John Keane, Nico Koopman, Christoffel Lombard, Paul Louis Metzger, Petr Pokorny, J. Jayakiran Sebastian, Rudolf von Sinner, Dirkie Smit, Max L. Stackhouse, and William F. Storrar.

The book is available for purchase here.

Dr. Metzger interviewed on the Multi-Ethnic Church podcast

I appreciated having the opportunity to talk recently with Mark DeYmaz on his radio program about race, class, consumerism and the multi-ethnic church. Please let me know your reflections based on the interview. I thank God for Mark and his shared vision to live into Jesus’ prayer in John 17: may we (the church) be one as he and the Father are one so that the world will know that God has sent his Son. Such unity includes multi-ethnic church communion. Click here to find out more about The John 17:23 Network, where I and others seek to embody this unity.
