This new work forms an inter-disciplinary approach to Kingship - literary, theological and historic - that offers the reader a key to a deeper understanding of the work of all three Oxford 'Inklings'. Scarf ultimately claims that these ideas are important in the light of today's Christian belief (or lack of it) in contemporary Britain, and that it is only in understanding these ideas and ideals that the three men's true contributions to English Life and Literature can be fully appreciated.
