King James VI and I and the Reunion of Christendom by W. B. Patterson (University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee)

This book shows King James VI and I, king of Scotland and England, in an unaccustomed light. Long regarded as inept, pedantic, and whimsical, James is shown here as an astute and far-sighted statesman whose reign was focused on achieving a permanent union between his two kingdoms and a peaceful and stable community of nations throughout Europe.

King James VI and I and the Reunion of Christendom Reviews

' weightily documented and authoritative in style it should definitively quash the old idea that James was nothing more than an ineffectual pedant who fancied himself a theologian.' Church Times
' scholars will be grateful to Patterson (and Cambridge University Press) for the comprehensiveness of this work this is [a] book which will define its particular subject for a long time'. The Virginia Quarterly Review
'Patterson's prose is so lucid and his narrative so clear that general readers will enjoy and learn much from this book.' The American Oxonian
' meticulously documented and well written. It fills a significant void in the re-evaluation of James's reign.' Renaissance Quarterly
' Patterson writes lucidly, treats other historians with appropriate irenicism, and should succeed in pushing Jacobean ecumenism from the margins into the mainstream of current historiography.' Journal of Ecclesiastical History
'This important volume is the culmination of many years' work on King James and his ecumenical commitments.' English Historical Review
' elegant and important'. The Downside Review
' meticulous, profoundly-researched'. Oxford Academic Journals
