Through a comparative reading of the relationship between Judeo-Christian and Islamic monotheisms and the imperial paradigm of power, this paper focuses on the alternative trajectory of the imperial transformation of the monotheist theology in Islamic tradition. While modern genealogies of political theology mainly follows the Christian-European reception of the Greco-Roman imperial model, this paper aims to look at the intellectual network through which the Persian imperial model could reach the Islamic tradition at the very beginning of the Islamic political thought in order to shape an alternative theological-political model of empire.
