Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides an overview of the role of religion in the support of nation states and their governments, drawing upon an analysis of a sermon preached in the aftermath of the execution of King Charles I of England in 1649. The author explores the idea that a belief in God, and the tenets of the established church, lead to the promotion of order, regularity, and peace within society, and in so doing, bolster the powers that be and ensure their continuation. With the example of King Charles I's reign as the backdrop, the author examines the complexities of obedience and conscience and the obligations of Christianity to earthly rulers. The author's insights on the mutual relationship between religion and government, and the tensions inherent therein, are as relevant and thought-provoking today as they were in the tumultuous 17th century.
