  • More about The Reign of God: A Critical Engagement with Oliver O’Donovan’s Theology of Political Authority


The Reign of God offers a critical engagement with Oliver ODonovans political theology, challenging its viability and proposing a refinement incorporating insights from moral theology to establish a basis for Christian liberalism.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 164 pages
Publication date: 22 February 2024
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

The Reign of God is a groundbreaking work that delves into Oliver ODonovan's political theology with a comprehensive and systematic approach. It challenges the viability of ODonovan's theological understanding of political authority based on exegetical and methodological issues.

The book then proceeds to offer a transformative solution by integrating insights from ODonovan's earlier work in moral theology. Through this refinement, The Reign of God establishes a solid foundation for believing that the Christ-event redeems the inherent political authority within the created order and inaugurates its new historical bene esse in the form of Christian liberalism.

This profound exploration of political theology offers a fresh perspective on the role of Christianity in shaping society and politics. It challenges traditional notions of power and authority and proposes a vision of a just and compassionate political order that is rooted in the values of love, justice, and human dignity.

The Reign of God is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the intersection of faith, politics, and society. It provides a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis that will inspire and challenge readers to think critically about the role of religion in shaping our world.
