While Elizabeth's parallels with various biblical figures--including Deborah, Esther, Judith, David, Solomon, and Daniel--have all received varying levels of attention in the scholarship, this is the first analysis of how biblical analogy functioned as a religio-political tool for Elizabeth across her reign. Taking both a chronological and thematic approach, this book addresses this gap by analyzing Elizabeth and her supporters' use of the Old Testament to provide justification for decisions (or the lack thereof), to offer counsel to the Queen, and to vindicate both female kingship and the royal supremacy. It argues that biblical analogies were a vital component of Elizabethan royal iconography, and that their widespread use demonstrates their potency as a tool for legitimizing and sustaining her power. 410 0$aGender and power in the premodern world. 606 $aBible and politics$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01744447 606 $aDivine right of kings$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00895765 606 $aDivine right of kings 606 $aBible and politics$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 607 $aEngland$2fast 608 $aHistory. 610 $aElizabeth I. 610 $aOld Testament. 610 $abiblical analogies. 610 $aearly modern religion. 610 $apolitics and religion. 615 7$aBible and politics. 615 7$aDivine right of kings. 615 0$aDivine right of kings. 615 0$aBible and politics$xHistory 676 $a942.055092 700 $aNorrie$b Aidan$01337439 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910838309603321 996 $aElizabeth I and the Old Testament$94139067 997 $aUNINA
