Defending Royal Supremacy and Discerning God's Will in Tudor England

Early modern governments constantly faced the challenge of reconciling their own authority with the will of God. Most acknowledged that an individual's first loyalty must be to God's law, but were understandably reluctant to allow this as an excuse to challenge their own powers where interpretations differed. As such, contemporaries gave much thought to how this potentially destabilising situation could be reconciled, preserving secular authority without compromising conscience. In this book, the particular relationship between the Tudor supremacy over the Church and the hermeneutics of discerning God's will is highlighted and explored.

There are many more psychopathic personalities living among us than the general public and professionals first supposed.

This book puts the victims ( usually family members or their loved ones) in a position of understanding how to deal with the individual who has no conscience and no emotional feelings.
