Abstract
Abstract This chapter proceeds in four parts: first, an outline of the basic principles of Christology as they were framed at the Council of Chalcedon in 451; second, an account of contemporary theological critiques of liberalism, especially of what the twentieth-century political theorist John Rawls called “political liberalism”; third, a section on the theological meaning of the kingship of Christ, including the Pauline concept of “restoring all things in Christ,” which is the most common intersection for reflections on constitutional law and Christology; and finally, the 2016 event of the enthronement of Christ as king of Poland as a case study of postsecular engagements of Christology with constitutional theory. Throughout the chapter the Chalcedonian adverbs (without confusion, change, division, or separation) used to explain the relationship between the divinity and humanity of Christ are applied analogously to the relationship between church and state.
