». . . damit Gott alles in allen sei.« (1 Kor 15,28)

The statement in 1 Corinthians 15:28c »that God may be all in all« is usually interpreted in terms of dominion. Accordingly, this formulation is seen as a statement of God's »absolute dominion«. This article scrutinises this interpretation and instead interprets it as a statement of the perfect and most intimate communion that renounces all forms of dominion.
