主權神學
主權神學(又稱主權主義)由一系列基督教政治意識形態構成,旨在建立一個由基督徒統治、基於基督徒對聖經律法之理解的國家。對於不同的理解而言,其統治範圍和獲得政權的方式各不相同。例如,主權神學可以包括神權政體,但不一定倡導以摩西律法作為政府的基礎。「主權神學」的標籤主要適用於美國的某些基督徒團體。
主權神學意識形態的主要追隨者包括加爾文主義-基督教重建主義、靈恩運動和五旬宗國度臨在神學(Kingdom Now theology),以及新使徒改教運動(New Apostolic Reformation)。 [1] [2] 當代大多數統治神學運動起源於1970年代主張基督教民族主義的宗教運動。羅馬天主教整體主義有時也被歸於主權神學一類,但天主教整體主義運動更古老,並且在神學上與新教主權神學明顯不同,因為它與天主教會作為「唯一真正的教會」之教義聯繫在一起。
一些人[誰?]已將主權主義者一詞用於更廣泛的基督教右翼運動之上,但這種用法頗有爭議。基督教右翼的某些成員[來源請求]聲稱,他們擔心主權運動標籤會讓他們在公共話語中被邊緣化。

In pentecostal practice, the attention of Christian life moved from the "other world" to this world, and the expectancy of the kingdom that would realise in this lifetime changed to "kingdom now" that eventually ended in dominion theology (dominionism), a group of Christian political ideologies that seeks to institute a nation governed by Christians where biblical law would be upheld. Other ideologies represented by this thinking include theologically diverse groups like Calvinist Christian reconstructionism and Roman Catholic integralism.

Spadaro and Figueroa capture this tension most explicitly when they point out the difference between the 「dominionist」 political culture of the conservative political ecumenism of 「Evangelical and Catholic integralists,」 and Pope Francis’s acceptance of the distinction between political power and religious authority.
