The Empire of Protestantism: Britain's Global War Against Rome (1640–1800)
Volume V of the landmark series The Crown and the Cross: England's War Against Rome
By Charlie Armstrong Adams
From Cromwell's godly republic to the fall of New France, from the Glorious Revolution to the Seven Years' War, The Empire of Protestantism reveals how Britain's rise as a world power was inseparably bound to a fierce ideological mission: the global defeat of Catholicism.
This gripping and meticulously researched volume uncovers how anti-Catholicism shaped British law, national identity, warfare, and empire-building. Across continents and centuries, the Protestant Crown waged a relentless campaign—through sermons, swords, schoolbooks, and statutes—against what it saw as the greatest threat to liberty and order: Rome.
Both scholarly and cinematic, The Empire of Protestantism is Volume V in the acclaimed series The Crown and the Cross. It offers a sweeping account of how Britain's religious identity was forged in battle—not just against Catholics abroad, but against Catholic subjects within.
This is not just the story of an empire. It is the story of a faith weaponized, a nation mythologized, and a war that never truly ended.
