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. 410 0$aCambridge Studies in Early Modern British History. 606 $aBible and politics$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aKings and rulers$xReligious aspects$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aMonarchy$xReligious aspects$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aPolitics in the Bible$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aRenaissance$zEngland 607 $aEngland$xChurch history$y17th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y1603-1714 615 0$aBible and politics$xHistory 615 0$aKings and rulers$xReligious aspects$xHistory 615 0$aMonarchy$xReligious aspects$xHistory 615 0$aPolitics in the Bible$xHistory 615 0$aRenaissance 676 $a220.8/320094209032 700 $aKilleen$b Kevin$0923100 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163908203321 996 $aThe political Bible in early modern England$92583107 997 $aUNINA
