Another way to translate Mettā is as universal love—which to me feels approximately represented in the description of Christian "agape". I must admit that I was not familiar with the concept of agape before reading this article, but from what I gather it seems like much of the same underlying "stuff", albeit with more of an explicit focus on love of God rather than the purely universal aspect.
