King James and the Defense of the Right of Kings ("It is often mentioned that King James VI & I spoke about the divine right of kings, but many do not know why he did this. They may think that they know, but they have not read the king's workes for themselves--what they "know" is what somebody told them. They just accepted the interpretation of a professor, textbook author, etc.")
King James and the Divine Right of Kings ("In the minds of many, the doctrine of the Divine Right of Kings is closely (if not exclusively) associated with King James VI & I. It is important to note, however, that the Divine Right of Kings (the idea that kings are accountable to God alone), neither began nor ended with King James.")
King James was NEVER Roman Catholic ("A strange thing can be heard today--that King James was Roman Catholic...but King James said himself that he was NEVER Roman Catholic. In fact, he labored to prove that he had never been Roman Catholic.")
JAMES VI & I WRITINGS & SPEECHES
Now online: The Workes of the Most High and Mightie Prince Iames --
This facsimile edition of James' Workes is 688 pages and is prefaced with reader helps--including an excellent summary of the writings contained in The Workes. Click here for the summary and a link to James' Workes.
The Workes is an amazing, scarce collection of King James' writings first published in 1616. The Workes contains many of the king's most famous writings (e.g. Basilicon Doron, Daemonologie, Counterblaste to Tobacco, and sundry speeches) IN ADDITION TO HIS LESSER KNOWN CHRISTIAN WRITINGS. When you read the king's writings, you will find his faith in Jesus Christ and the holy scriptures manifested everywhere--including in his political speeches before the lords of the British parliament.
