A scholarly and original study of the Church of England in the
reign of Charles I, Davies's detailed analysis of religious policy
and ecclesiastical practice offers a bold new interpretation of the
Caroline Church, firmly based on documentary evidence. Davies
examines the roles of Charles I and of Archbishop Laud,
demonstrating both Laud's essential conservatism in religious
matters and Charles's highly personal notion of sacramental
kingship which he was attempting to realize through his prerogative
as Supreme Governor of the Church. As a vital arm in the political
apparatus of the state and as the vehicle for Caroline ideology,
the established church under Charles I became more highly
politicized than ever before. Julian Davies reassesses the
significance of doctrinal Arminianism in the seventeenth-century
church, taking issue with a number of scholars. He brings to the
forefront of the debate constitutional issues which have recently
been underplayed. His book makes an important contribution to a
controversial area of historical study.
