Abstract
[Reception of J.B. Metz's political theology]. This article aims to show the relevance of the reception of the political theology of J.B. Metz in some theologians concerned with the political dimension of the Christian faith. The study presents the immediate reactions at the theological project of Metz before focusing on its reception by contemporary theologians. Firstly, J. Milbank considers the thought of Metz by confronting it with his program of Radical Orthodoxy. Secondly, one meets H.-J. Gagey and J.-L. Souletie, which evaluate the political force of the theology of Metz. Lastly, the writings of L. Boeve incorporate certain aspects of the thought of the German theologian. To conclude, the article proposes a synthetic and critical appraisal of this reception, with the concern of showing the relevance of the political theology of Metz and its capacity to stimulate the thinking about the relationship between faith and society.
