This illuminating new study considers the Bible as a political
document in seventeenth-century England, revealing how the
religious text provided a key language of political debate and
played a critical role in shaping early modern political thinking.
Kevin Killeen demonstrates how biblical kings were as important in
the era's political thought as any classical model. The book mines
the rich and neglected resources of early modern quasi-scriptural
writings - treatise, sermon, commentary, annotation, poetry and
political tract - to show how deeply embedded this political
vocabulary remained, across the century, from top to bottom and
across all religious positions. It shows how constitutional
thought, in this most tumultuous era of civil war, regicide and
republic, was forged on the Bible, and how writers ranging from
King James, Joseph Hall or John Milton to Robert Filmer and Thomas
Hobbes can be better understood in the context of such vigorous
biblical discourse.
