From the Publisher
A surprising number of works exist about His Majesty King James VI of Scotland & I of England, some for James and some against. Yet a number of the ones against James, these works forged like swords from the minds of sex obsessed revisionist historians, pseudo historical authors who lack even the grammatical knowledge to understand the definitions of the terms King James used in his letters & works, pierce the minds of the unsuspecting causing a false image of this King.
These modern authors for the most, part bang away at their typewriters and word processors rehashing the hateful & racist works of Anthony Weldon and his like against this just King.
Stephen A. Coston SR. deposits into this so-called scholarly arena of defective swords and hammers generated of late by pseudo historians the Anvil Of Truth concerning King James VI & I. In this volume "King James VI & I And Papal Opposition" Coston dispels the myth held by some of King James being a crypto Catholic, and documents James' disputes with the Pope of Rome. Additional source materials from King James and his contemporaries are sited and quoted from in length & detail, works not previously included in Coston's book "King James VI & I Unjustly Accused". Coston also details the danger James and his subjects faced in opposing the mighty religious empire of Rome and its head the Pope.
From the Author
"King's are God's lieutenants on earth!" Or, is the Pope the "vicar of Christ?" What is the answer? In this work you will find the powerful truth behind this simple but potent question. Richard and Deborah Neumeier once again have put their brush to the canvas and created yet another artistic magnum opus. Richly illustrated with artwork beyond compare. But wait, there's more to this work than just another pretty face. The product of years of intensive and painstaking research, for the first time the facts about the religion of the Reformation, and the reaction of Rome to same are clearly identified with an emphasis on the unique contribution that King James VI & I made to this period of history. You will read how James VI & I suffered Papal persecution, read details from James' correspondence, and be a witness to the various and sundry Romish plots on the life of the first Scottish King to ascend to the English throne. You will read about how James contended with a Cardinal of Rome, how James converted Papists, and be exposed to the conspiracy theories of dissenting viewpoints. Furthermore, the modern Jesuit view on James VI & I will be identified. It is my distinct pleasure to commend this work to the general public in order to promote a more informed and balanced perspective on the mind of one of Great Britain's greatest kings.
