I must begin by expressing my deep appreciation to Paul Rowe for bringing my work on theopolitics before a different audience than the ones to which I am accustomed and for bringing his own expertise in political science and political theory to bear on my writings. The depth and incisiveness of his critique provide me an opportunity to rethink and clarify my ideas. It also gives me the opportunity to prove that I do not deserve being mentioned in the same sentence as Che Guevara and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi!

The paper questions the basic assumption that the nation-state is one city, within which there is a division of goods & a division of labor, which follow certain well-worn binaries: civil society & state, sacred & secular, eternal & temporal, religion & politics, church & state. It explores some deficiencies of John Courtney Murray's conceptualization of the political space in this way, & turns to Augustine's tale of two cities for a more adequate conceptualization. The paper especially argues that the two cities are not two institutions but two performances, two practices of space & time. Adapted from the source document.
