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 queens—from Henry VIII to Elizabeth II—used religion to assert authority, forge national identity, and navigate the dangerous waters of papal power, Protestant reform, and political rebellion.
Discover how:
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 monarchy—and how it still beats beneath the crown today.
