Résumé
This paper bears on the question of the articulation between theology and politics. It will first problematise these very notions as coherent disciplines, distinguishing between the theo-political and the theio-political, between what refers us to a personal God and the more extensive field of the divine. The theio-logical principle proposes to govern human actions. In this sense, its political application is just a province of a larger theio-practical dimension — which, for instance, but crucially, manifests itself as divine law. The Christian specificity, then, is that it allows the unfolding of a theology, for it does not dictate its law : the divine gives itself to Men before it requires anything from them, and even this requirement is only that it should be received.
