The role of revelation in the structure of power and its relation to religious governance has long been one of the most significant issues in religious studies, and in recent decades it has attracted growing attention in political philosophy, political jurisprudence, and contemporary theology. Among the theorists who have addressed this issue is Soroush, who elaborated his views in a thirty-session series entitled Religion and Power, delivered in December 2019. In these sessions, he seeks to demonstrate the inefficiency of religion in the sphere of governance and argues that religion lacks the capacity to bear the burden of political rule. To support this claim, he advances several arguments. After emphasizing the non-infallibility of those who administer a religious government, he points to the absence of a clear supervisory structure capable of preventing large-scale corruption in governance. He further maintains that, in religious sources, only two factors—justice and piety—are mentioned as means of constraining power, and that these are sufficient only for limiting power at a small scale. The present study, based on a complete review of this series of sessions and using a descriptive-analytical approach, seeks to identify the types of supervisory mechanisms specified by religion for governance. In religious sources, three forms of oversight are identified: divine oversight, internal oversight, and external/public oversight. In this theory, however, Soroush refers only to the second type and does not provide an adequate account of it in his lectures.
