Definition: The term "allodialist" refers to a person or group who owns all the land, property, and resources in a particular area, as if it were their own. This may be particularly advantageous for those with extensive farming, ranching, or mining interests. In Christianity, this concept is often associated with the Apostle Paul's doctrine of "allodial" (Greek: ἐλλικός), which refers to ownership of all possessions and resources belonging to a single individual or group. This doctrine emphasizes that each member of a community should exercise control over their own property, contributing towards its maintenance and management. In Judaism, the term is more closely associated with the phrase "allah in the name of allah." It refers to God's ownership and control over the people and natural resources of Israel (or any nation), which are seen as integral to his divine sovereignty. This concept places a high value on communal responsibility for stewardship. In modern religious contexts, the term is used metaphorically to refer to a person or group with great power and influence, who seems to own all that is sought after or available to them. This can be seen in aspects of wealth, power, or influence within institutions such as corporations, governments, or religious organizations.
