Pancratism
Pancratism – A doctrine that absolute power (Kratos) is the fundamental rule of being. Not just that power exists, but that power is the ultimate reality: all things are expressions of force, domination, or capacity. Pancratism often appears in political philosophy (might makes right) but can also be metaphysical: the universe’s essence is not matter or mind but raw, unmediated power. Ethics becomes a matter of managing power wisely.
Example: “He argued that every relationship, every law, every particle was a power struggle—pancratism, seeing Kratos as the only substance beneath the illusion of peace.”
Panencratism – The belief that everything is contained within divine power or government. Unlike pancratism (power as a brute fact), panencratism sees all power as ultimately unified under a single sovereign source—God’s omnipotence. Every act of force, every hierarchy, every authority on Earth is a fragment of or a participation in the total divine rule. It’s a theological version of “everything is controlled.”
Example: “She believed even evil kings were unwitting tools of a divine plan—panencratism, where no power exists outside God’s grip, not even rebellion.”

Pancratotheism
Pancratotheism – Specifically identifies God as the personification of total and absolute power. Not just a god who has power, but God is Power (with a capital P). This is the deity of omnipotence defined as the ability to do anything logically possible, often associated with classical theism but here the emphasis is on the very essence of divinity as dynamic force. Prayers become requests for intervention.
Example: “When he prayed, he didn’t ask for wisdom or love—he asked for a demonstration of might. Pancratotheism: God as the ultimate muscle.”
Panencratotheism – The belief that God is the power that sustains and contains all other forms of power. Not just that God is powerful, but that every instance of power—physical, political, personal—exists within God and by God’s permission. This is a soft panentheism where God is the “field” that enables any local force. It’s often used to reconcile omnipotence with free will: creatures have power, but only as participants in the divine power.
Example: “She saw her ability to choose as a loan from God—panencratotheism, where every push of will is a ripple on the ocean of divine strength.”
