Wikipedia offers us this: Political philosophy or political theory is the philosophical study of government, addressing questions about the nature, scope, and legitimacy of public agents and institutions…
FRONTLINE Volume 34 • Number 4 In the Scriptures, God describes three institutions He established for the good of humankind—the family, the church, and human government. The order of this listing presents the order of their importance as taught biblically, though each is significant and essential for the prospering of the Christian in this life…
“The Trinity is in the Old Testament present but concealed; The Trinity is in the New Testament present and revealed.” True enough, and equally true of how much the covenant name of God reveals of the Trinity in the respective Testaments.

When God declares “I AM THAT I AM”, He is explaining to us, as best as human language can communicate, what He is. Philosophy, and specifically that branch of philosophy known as metaphysics, studies the nature of reality.
