主权神学(又称主权主义)由一系列基督教政治意识形态构成,旨在建立一个由基督徒统治、基于基督徒对圣经律法之理解的国家。对于不同的理解而言,其统治范围和获得政权的方式各不相同。例如,主权神学可以包括神权政体,但不一定倡导以摩西律法作为政府的基础。“主权神学”的标签主要适用于美国的某些基督徒团体。

主权神学意识形态的主要追随者包括加尔文主义-基督教重建主义灵恩运动五旬宗国度临在神学(Kingdom Now theology),以及新使徒改教运动(New Apostolic Reformation)[1] [2] 当代大多数统治神学运动起源于1970年代主张基督教民族主义的宗教运动。罗马天主教整体主义有时也被归于主权神学一类,但天主教整体主义运动更古老,并且在神学上与新教主权神学明显不同,因为它与天主教会作为“唯一真正的教会”之教义联系在一起。

一些人[谁?]已将主权主义者一词用于更广泛的基督教右翼运动之上,但这种用法颇有争议。基督教右翼的某些成员[来源请求]声称,他们担心主权运动标签会让他们在公共话语中被边缘化

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.
