Abstract
This paper examines the central concepts in the political theology of Fulke Greville. By situating Greville's work in the context of the work of Huguenot political thinkers such as Agrippa d'Aubignéé, it is argued that it is Calvinism's notion of idolatry, and its distrust of the sacralization of power, regarded as a form of voluntary servitude, which lay at the heart of Greville's critique of absolute monarchy.
