Produktbeschreibung

God and the Queen: Religion, Sovereignty, and National Identity in English Monarchy
Volume VII of The Crown and the Cross series

A sweeping historical exploration of how religion shaped the British Crown.

From the medieval doctrine of divine kingship to the modern challenges of religious pluralism, God and the Queen traces the long and often fraught relationship between faith and monarchy in England and Britain. This richly detailed volume unpacks how kings and queensfrom Henry VIII to Elizabeth IIused religion to assert authority, forge national identity, and navigate the dangerous waters of papal power, Protestant reform, and political rebellion.

Discover how:

• Henry VIII's break with Rome redefined sovereignty itself
• Elizabeth I crafted a Protestant national image to resist Catholic plots
• Coronations, oaths, and religious tests forged sacred monarchy
• Catholic Emancipation and secularization challenged the Crown's legitimacy
• Anti-papal memory and Protestant ritual still echo in royal symbolism

Perfect for readers of political theology, royal history, and religious reform, this book unveils the monarchy as not merely a political institution, but a religious symbol deeply embedded in the soul of the English nation.

A compelling addition to The Crown and the Cross series, God and the Queen is essential reading for those who want to understand the spiritual heart of monarchyand how it still beats beneath the crown today.
