Abstract

In The Kingdom and the Glory, the Italian thinker Giorgio Agamben seeks to demonstrate that power, forged by Christian theology, presented by two great paradigms: political theological and economic theology. The political theology points not only to the structural origin that underlies the Modern State established under theological concepts, but also emphasizes the primacy of the economic theological paradigm over the political theological one. From it is by starting from this double structure originated from the Christian theology that the governmental machine is consolidated, in which all typically sovereign power is articulated according to these two polarities, Kingdom and Government, the power to judge and the exercise of judgment, immanent trinity and economic trinity. While relentlessly seeking to renew this classic separation between the "two trinities," God and his praxis, Moltmann seems to observe, like Agamben, problems in the constitution of Trinitarian dogmatic. Our purpose is to present some points of this dialogue about the Trinitarian doctrine, whose background reveals the criticism of the two thinkers to the current mode of government, the political theological.
