The '''Two kingdoms doctrine''' is a Lutheran teaching. [[God]] rules the entire world, but he does this in two ways: temporal and spiritual. The two kingdoms bear a resemblance to certain features from [[Saint Augustine]] of Hippo, who distinguished between the ''City of God'' and the Earthly city, a city of man.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=G-20AF8gV2MC&pg=PA23 Encyclopedia of Political Thought]</ref>
In addition to [[Martin Luther]], two prominent advocates for the doctrine are [[John Calvin]] and [[John Locke]].<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=gl9UDgAAQBAJ&pg=PA361 Calvin's Political Theology and the Public Engagement of the Church: Christ's Two Kingdoms]</ref>
