«Zeit der Orden?» is the essay by Johann Baptist Metz, published in 1977 by Herder in paperback (101 pages, in German).
Metz starts from the question that opens the title about the time of religious orders and rethinks the following of Christ («Nachfolge») as a theological category: a mysticism that does not disregard history or politics, but rather drives a Christian life committed to the transformation of the Church and society.
Full title: «Zeit der Orden? Zur Mystik u. Politik d. Nachfolge». Third edition (3. Aufl.) published by Herder in Freiburg, Basel and Vienna; includes bibliographic references.
For readers interested in Catholic theology, Christian spirituality and the role of religious orders in the Church.
Johann Baptist Metz was a German Catholic priest and theologian. He was ordinary professor of fundamental theology at the University of Münster and a consultant to the synod of German dioceses. He is regarded as one of the most important German theologians after the Second Vatican Council, and was an influence on the development of liberation theology.
