Christian Theocracy
This article is about the ideology. For the religion itself, see
Christianity.
—  Jesus Christ, Matthew 4:4

Christian Theocracy is a 
culturally right-wing ideology positioned in the upper middle section of the 
Authoritarian axis on the political compass. His exact placement varies based on the denomination of 
Christianity (e.g., 
Calvinists align more to the far right, while 
Catholics may lean towards the center-left). The core belief is that a powerful Christian government is essential for the salvation of humanity. Advocates of this ideology oppose the separation of church and state.
History
There were numerous states in history, mainly 
European, that adopted Christianity as their state religion. The first state to legally declare Christianity his state religion would be 
Armenia in the year 301, under 
King Tiridates III (298-330 C.E./A.D.). Later, in the year 380 under Emperor 
Theodosius I, the Edict of 
Thessalonica would make Christianity the state religion of the 
Roman Empire, influencing all 
European history to come.
The New Testament gives no guidelines for governing a nation, but the Old Testament does describe the existance of theocracies under men such as 
Moses, 
Joshua, and 
King Josiah (for more information, see 
Jewish Theocracy § History). On another related note, the New Testament does describe the concept of governments (regardless of them being Christian) as appointed by 
God. 
Paul the Apostle wrote that "…there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God" (Romans 13:1, NKJV). This, along with the Old Testament, is the scriptural foundation for a theocracy in Christianity.
Christian theocracies emerged as 
Catholic theocracies during the Middle Ages, as Catholicism spread and dominated Europe.
