"In Oakley′s hands, kingship turns out to be a tremendously insightful vantage point to understand the human story. His magisterial sweep through the history of monarchical rule shows conclusively how difficult it is to separate the history of politics from that of religion. Oakley′s argument is supported by vivid examples drawn from an impressive range of times and civilizations." Charles Taylor, McGill University
"Original and lucid. This is an essential book ... it offers a persuasive reconsideration of the history of political philosophy, which bears on modern and recent as well as much older periods." Choice
"Oakley′s study is neither confined to the West, nor to any period. It is not on kings, but on the very idea of kingship, an idea characterised by ubiquity, longevity and sacrality. [This] study is interesting and at times challenging." European Constitutional Law Review
A most useful and informative survey of the theme The juxtaposition of so much diverse material is certainly thought–provoking and demands changes in historical perspectives.
Catholic Historical Review
The author considers the many forms that kingship took during this period, including: the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt; the emperors of Japan; the Maya rulers of Mesoamerica; the medieval popes and emperors; and the English and French monarchs of early modern Europe. While acknowledging the panoply of governing roles that kingship could involve administrative, military, judicial, economic, religious, and purely symbolic his central focus is on its intimate connection with the sacred.
