Because there seems to be a kind of non-metaphysical, perhaps even anti-metaphysical, moment to Christianity and some Protestants have a good handle on that. Metaphysics tends to say too much and therefore too little. However, at the same time the Protestant position can lead to a kind of radical other-worldly transcendence that forgets the commandment to charity and love in this world.

Thus despite the abstracting nature of metaphysics, at least the language of metaphysics is the best way to ground Christian ethics centered around the commandment to love -- it seems at least.

I guess I want a quasi-metaphysical Christianity if that makes any sense Or as the title suggests, a "weaker" Christianity. To the extent that one can have a phenomenological and hermeneutic Christianity has certainly been the concern of some contemporary Catholic philosophers/theologians, not to mention some recent popes.
