The anthology "All Majesty and Power: An Anthology of Royal Prayers" is a unique collection that includes both prayers by royalty and prayers for royalty. It serves as a model for carrying out the Christian duty of praying for rulers and those in positions of political authority. The book consists of two parts: prayers by royalty, including those found in the Hebrew Scriptures and used by historical figures such as Constantine the Great, Alfred the Great, Canute, Henry VI, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Queen Mary I, Lady Jane Gray, Mary Queen of Scots, Queen Elizabeth I, King Charles I, Queen Anne, Princess Elizabeth, and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The second part illustrates how Christians have prayed for royalty throughout history, beginning with prayers used by the first Christians and accepted as part of official church liturgy. The anthology also includes the coronation rite used in Westminster Abbey and various styles of prayers up to the present day. An original and highly revealing introduction sets the historical context for these prayers, reflecting social changes over time and the relationship between church and state. 248.32802839576 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 248.32 Gra a-2 E10002003 E07002178 Non Fiction 248.32 Gra a All_majesty_and_power.jpg 27895 2014-11-13 12:18:56 2026-01-15 17:41:37 machine generated
