Welcome to Metapolis

Metapolis is a weekly Friday newsletter. Our goal is to model reading the Bible more carefully and thinking more carefully about the world. Topics include:

  • Deep dives into Biblical passages and themes
  • Essays on the intersection of Christianity and science, philosophy, and culture
  • Book reviews

Posts are serialized, often drawing on material from prior research and sermons. Most posts are written by Jack VanDrunen, with guest posts from other scholars in both theology and philosophy.

(I think it's pronounced "meh-TAP-uh-lis")

The city of God, the Metapolis offered to man at the beginning in the prophetic sanctions of the creational covenant, is again offered as the final goal of the process of cosmic redemption. It is promised as the crowning achievement of Christ, the redeemer-king. Towards it the people of the covenant wend their historical way as pilgrims in a wilderness. – Meredith G. Kline
