| Résumé: | In western civilization, from the dying days of the Israelite amphictyony to the current hopes of Latin American liberation theology, one imagined solution to a variety of social problems has been 'the kingdom of God.' The final word in good government would be this divine reign. The consummation of our quest for learning how to live together would be found in a theocracy. Though what exactly 'God's kingdom' means at the level of concrete political choice remains undetermined. As a symbol, the kingdom of God has promoted very dissimilar political programmes. Behind much of the tradition of western social philosophy lies a 'cultural conversation' in which the system that would best approximate this reign is debated. I will consider here the term's significance in Paul and Q. |
