| 520 | |a Political constitutions often entail references to God, even in modern secularized countries. Those references testify to very salient political issues, and they are normally analyzed as such, either from a historical, political or legal perspective. This article adopts a theological point of view to explore the different ways in which God is referred to in national constitutions and the significance of such mentions. Four representations are identified: God as Liberator, Ruler, Judge or Creator. Those various ways of referring to God testify to the traditional theologico-political problem: how can a contingent political sphere be related to an absolute foundation? Constitutional references to God represent an attempt to achieve such a connection, but many are questionable from a theological point of view. The main issue for political discourse might be to find other ways to hint at transcendence. | ||
