This article analyzes the political aspect of the concept of mesianism. It is held that the resort to this concept in some contemporary philosophers, particularly Agamben, is debtor of Smith, Benjamin and Taubes’opinions about Paul’s thinking. From these premises, it is examined the philosophical-political importance of mesianism from its question of everything nomos, justifying its unpolitical character. The unpolitical messianism is the complete opposite of the political theology.
