Jonathan Cole does us a great service in this comprehensive, clearly-written and constructively critical account of O'Donovan's political thought. Both seasoned readers of O'Donovan and newcomers to his corpus will find this an invaluable companion. -- Jonathan Chaplin, Institute for Christian Studies, Canada\u003cbr\u003eThis book is no doubt a significant step in the ongoing reception of O’Donovan’s political theology, developing a detailed and carefully argued critique of O’Donovan’s account of political authority. To his credit, Cole does not let his overall sympathy and appreciation stand in the way of critical examination and disagreement. -- Guido de Graaff, St Augustine College of Theology, UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Reign of God\u003c\/i\u003e provides a clear map of the logic of O’Donovan’s theology of political authority, a lucid understanding of the alternatives that troubled him, and a constructive resolution to his theology's internal contradictions.
