Political thought in Early Irish exegesis

Abstract:
The two earliest Latin commentaries on the Catholic Epistles probably come from seventh-century southern Ireland and both suggest that christians only owe obedience to kings who actively punish the wicked and praise the good. This may reflect an ideology of punitive christian kingship which seems particularly prominent in Munster during the second half of the seventh century.
