AB - The purpose of this research is to introduce and examine the political theology of Oliver O'Donovan who is a prominent England theologian. First of all, his political theology begins with his critique for a modern academic flow that intends to separate politics from theology. Against this flow, he proclaims that theology must be political, and strives to rediscover a modern political theology. His first rediscovery is the reflection on Augustinian political theology. By adopting a philosophical approach, he tries to overcome a so-called Niebuhrian realistic approach concentrating on tangible political issues in the world. Additionally, he seeks to overcome the gap between an Augustinian just war theory and pacifism by concentrating on the Bible itself. His second rediscovery is the reflection on authority. With the new keyword, authority, he seeks to deliberate and develop the current Augustinian dual approach to the world and the heaven. His third rediscovery is the reflection on resurrection. He proposes Christology rather than Jesuology by focusing not on Jesus' works in the world, but on Christ's salvific events in God's providence. Here, it is resurrection that is the climax of Christ-events showing the pictures of God's salvation. Resurrection is the vindication of God's salvation through Christ as well as that of God's creation. Indeed, it is the core of O'Donovan's political theology. Particularly, the emphasis on resurrection can maintain the balance between a cross-driven political theology of suffering and death and a resurrection-driven political theology of hope and life.
