| | The Divine Right of Kings |
| | The theory of the Divine Right of Kings aimed at instilling obedience by explaining why all social ranks were religiously and morally obliged to obey their government. | | | Although the theory of the Divine Right of Kings was perfectly coherent and treated as such by its exponents and opponents, it is often now dismissed as absurd. | | | The theory of the Divine Right of Kings was directed at convincing this literate and wealthy group that they should serve as royal officials, not try and seize power for themselves. |

| | King James VI & I 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 Charles Stuart. | | | "With respect to the doctrine of the Divine Right of Kings, this doctrine was the principal force restraining the authority of the Popes in James' time and thereafter...[W]ithout the doctrine of the Divine Right, Roman Catholicism would have dominated history well beyond its current employment in the Dark Ages. | | | Furthermore, Divine Right made it possible for the Protestant Reformation in England to take place, mature and spread to the rest of the globe. |

| | And thus, all Scripture is theopneustos (divinely-breathed, or inspired-of-God; hence is the divine authority of Scripture asserted -- 2 Timothy 3:16-17). | | | And in this last sense especially this jus divinum, or divine right, is here spoken of in reference to Church-Government, as it signifies a divine warrant and authority from God himself, engraven upon that Church-Government and Discipline (hereafter to be handled), and revealed to us in his holy Scriptures, these infallible and perfect Oracles. | | | So that Jus divinum, divine Right (according to this interpretation of the terms) is that which is either justum, just, meet, and equal; or jussum, commanded, enjoined by any divine warrant or authority. |

| | This second majesty is but a token of the first, the divine, which, for the good of things human, has caused a certain part of its lustre to be imparted to kings. | | | Since their power comes from on high, kings should not believe that they are its masters and may use it as they wish; they should exercise it with fear and restraint as a thing which has come to them from God, and for which God will demand an account.... | | | That is, they should govern as God governs, in a manner at once noble, disinterested, benevolent, in a word, divine.... |

| | Working from biblical precedent (the divinely-ordainment of Saul and David), the Roman Catholic church was the inventor, and proponent, of the "Divine Right of Kings," the concept that kings ruled by God's will. | | | In effect, the Church had the say-so as to who had the "divine right" to the throne. | | | The German kings got the message, and the blessings of the Church. |

| | On the other hand, Jacques-Benigne Bossuet (1627-1704) reinforced medieval notions of kingship in his theory of the Divine Right of Kings, a theory which argued that certain kings ruled because they were chosen by God to do so and that these kings were accountable to no person except God. | | | Bossuet, however, was reacting to an extreme situation and carried this argument to its farthest extent in his doctrine of the Divine Right of Kings. | | | This doctrine of absolutism would follow a tortured course through the eighteenth century culminating in the French Revolution of 1789-1792 and the beheading of Louis XVI, the king of France. |

| | Absolutism |
| | According to the doctrine of the Divine Right of Kings, a system of thought derived ultimately from medieval theories of kingship, certain kings ruled because they were specifically chosen by God to be kings. | | | In particular, the Reformation doctrines of individual liberty, the priesthood of all believers, in which everyone shared religious authority equally, and the Calivinist idea of "voluntary associations," spread political dissension and doubt across the face of Europe. | | | Jacques-Benigne Bossuet (1627-1704) adapted the medieval concept of kingship in his theory of the Divine Right of Kings, which argued that the king ruled absolutely by will of God, and that to oppose the king in effect constituted rebellion against God. |
