Kevin Killeen demonstrates how biblical kings were as important in the era's political thought as any classical model. The book mines the rich and neglected resources of early modern quasi-scriptural writings - treatise, sermon, commentary, annotation, poetry and political tract - to show how deeply embedded this political vocabulary remained, across the century, from top to bottom and across all religious positions. It shows how constitutional thought, in this most tumultuous era of civil war, regicide and republic, was forged on the Bible, and how writers ranging from King James, Joseph Hall or John Milton to Robert Filmer and Thomas Hobbes can be better understood in the context of such vigorous biblical discourse.Cambridge Studies in Early Modern British History.Bible and politicsEnglandHistory17th centuryKings and rulersReligious aspectsHistory17th centuryMonarchyReligious aspectsHistory17th centuryPolitics in the BibleHistory17th centuryRenaissanceEnglandEnglandChurch history17th centuryGreat BritainPolitics and government1603-1714Bible and politicsHistoryKings and rulersReligious aspectsHistoryMonarchyReligious aspectsHistoryPolitics in the BibleHistoryRenaissance220.8/320094209032Killeen Kevin923100UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910163908203321The political Bible in early modern England2583107UNINA
