요약 : This study outlines the broad features of a Christian politics as it is found in the Sermon on the Mount. I interpret this text in conversation with the theologies of Gustavo Gutierrez and John Howard Yoder. I argue that two models of political community can be discerned in Matthew 5: first, the kingdom of God, which is anticipated in the worship and social organization of the church, and secondly, the kingdoms of the world, which are distinguished by the contest for power and the oppression of those who do not prevail in that struggle. The theology of Gutierrez, written in the context of political and social oppression in Latin America, is especially effective in exposing and prophetically denouncing the acute injustice of the latter political order. Because Gutierrez thinks of politics only in terms of statecraft, however, he is unable to articulate the creative alternative politics of the church. By contrast, Yoder's vision of the church as a diaspora community is a faithful reflection of the alternative politics found in the Sermon on the Mount. Christian social practices, such as nonviolence, enemy-love, and unlimited generosity, give form to this politics. My interpretation of Matthew 6 and 7 focuses on the centrality of prayer and grace to the alternative politics of the Sermon on the Mount. I conclude the dissertation with a discussion of Gutierrez's theology of grace. I argue that Gutierrez's understanding of grace, when viewed apart from his limited conception of politics as statecraft, can be shown to support the political form of the diaspora church, particularly its rejection of the power politics of the world. Gutierrez's understanding of grace also provides his theology with a mystical core that preserves his writings against ethico-political reductionism. Furthermore, it is shown how questions of ethics and politics fuel divine contemplation in the work of Gutierrez. It is suggested that a similar appreciation of the relation between ethics and contemplation might allow us to rein in the reductionistic tendencies in the work of Yoder.
