While scholars have long recognised the central role played by preachers in driving forward the parliamentarian war-effort, the use of the pulpit by the king’s supporters has rarely been considered. \u003ci\u003eThe Lord’s battle\u003c\/i\u003e, however, argues that the pulpit offered an especially vital platform for clergymen who opposed the dramatic changes in Church and state that England experienced in the mid-seventeenth century. It shows that royalists after 1640 were moved to rethink earlier attitudes to preaching and print, as the unique potential for sermons to influence both popular and elite audiences became clear. As well as contributing to our understanding of preaching during the Civil Wars therefore, this book engages with recent debates about the nature of royalism in seventeenth-century England.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: ‘These times are preaching times’\u003cbr\u003e1 The pulpit and public politics, 1640–2\u003cbr\u003e2 Royalist preachers and the First Civil War\u003cbr\u003e3 Preaching, peace and providence at royalist Oxford\u003cbr\u003e4 Sermons and the politics of counsel, 1646–51\u003cbr\u003e5 Resisting the republican regime\u003cbr\u003e6  Apostacy, loyalty and the Interregnum pulpit\u003cbr\u003e7 ‘If the king will not comply’: 1658–62\u003cbr\u003e8 Hearing and reading royalist sermons\u003cbr\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041031455063,"sku":"9781526164704","price":76.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526164704.jpg?v=1750948675","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-lord-s-battle-preaching-print-and-royalism-during-the-english-revolution-9781526164704","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
