Omschrijving

The Empire of Protestantism: Britain's Global War Against Rome (1640–1800)
Volume V of the landmark series The Crown and the Cross: England's War Against Rome
By Charlie Armstrong Adams

From Cromwell's godly republic to the fall of New France, from the Glorious Revolution to the Seven Years' War, The Empire of Protestantism reveals how Britain's rise as a world power was inseparably bound to a fierce ideological mission: the global defeat of Catholicism.

This gripping and meticulously researched volume uncovers how anti-Catholicism shaped British law, national identity, warfare, and empire-building. Across continents and centuries, the Protestant Crown waged a relentless campaign—through sermons, swords, schoolbooks, and statutes—against what it saw as the greatest threat to liberty and order: Rome.

Discover how the British state institutionalized religious exclusion through Penal Laws, oaths of allegiance, and colonial charters. Witness the anti-popery propaganda that fueled riots, justified conquest, and turned chaplains into agents of empire. Explore the Protestant unification that transcended denominational divisions in the name of resisting papal tyranny. Meet the bishops, generals, writers, and rebels who shaped—and were shaped by—this theological-political war.

Both scholarly and cinematic, The Empire of Protestantism is Volume V in the acclaimed series The Crown and the Cross. It offers a sweeping account of how Britain's religious identity was forged in battle—not just against Catholics abroad, but against Catholic subjects within.

This is not just the story of an empire. It is the story of a faith weaponized, a nation mythologized, and a war that never truly ended.
