According to his [Martin Bucer’s] understanding, this Kingdom was the expression of the Kingship of Christ.  Regnum Christi meant for him the reign or rule of Christ as manifested in the life of mankind ordered according to Christ’s will as revealed in the Bible.  The true life is realizable only in a Christocracy, i.e., no man can live “well and happily,” except in a Christocratic society, i.e. a Christian commonwealth (republica Christiana) Which is shaped and dominated by the Christian Church and a Christian government.
