About this title

Synopsis

This book delves into the historical, theological, and political implications of the Coronation Oath required of British monarchs. The author examines the Oath's wording and its significance within the broader religious framework of the nation, tracing its evolution from the Saxon period to the present day. The author argues that the Oath is primarily a promise to uphold the established Protestantism of the realm but does not preclude rulers from granting civil and political concessions to religious minorities. This work provides a valuable contribution to our understanding of religious toleration, the relationship between Church and State, and the delicate balance between tradition and progress in constitutional monarchy.
