Political Philosophy of Christianity in the Ancient Period
Historically, the Christian philosophy of politics has contained a particular theological model of Christianity, representing a specific religion that was based on Judaism and accepted its basic assumption of monotheism - God created the world with a Zionist perspective. The aim of the article is to investigate the political idea of Christianity, which is a continuation of Judaism, while it simultaneously theologically refutes it. The main methods of research are the general scientific method of classification and analogy, induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis, as well as special methods of political-textual analysis and historical-political reconstruction. Theoretical significance consists in the systematisation and classification of representations of Christian political identity in history, as well as in the modern world. Practical significance consists in the possible application of the results of the study in teaching the course of history of political doctrines and the development of a number of special political science special courses, as well as in the political science analysis of world history and culture of various countries. It is concluded that Christianity is a complex type of religion: the unity of God as understood by Judaism has been transformed in Christianity into the central idea that God is one but is also a Trinity, hence Christian theology is specific and has had a tremendous influence on Christian political philosophy.
