Christ Is King by Joshua W. Jipp
Paul's Royal Ideology
Examines how Paul’s letters depict Jesus as a royal figure who enacts justice, liberation, and benefaction, drawing on both Jewish messianic hopes and Greco-Roman ideals of kingship. By framing the gospel as the proclamation of a reigning Lord who conquers rival powers and forms a new people, it shows how royal imagery shapes Christian identity, ethics, worship, and mission. The study argues that this royal ideology both resonates with and subverts imperial claims, calling communities to exclusive allegiance and public witness.
