Book excerpt: This book takes the reader on an intellectually and spiritually rewarding journey 'from the pharaoh to the most Christian king'. In his study of sacred royalty, Jean Hani explores a wide range of traditional societies, and demonstrates how royalty, insofar as it maintained its sacral character, integrated society into the cosmic order. Through this integration regal authority traditionally served as a reflection of the heavenly order, whatever be the particular character of the revealed traditon within which that authority functions. --Book cover.
