Overview

Perched on the banks of the River Thames at Westminster, the Houses of Parliament are among the most iconic buildings in the world. For generations, they have stood at the center of the United Kingdom’s national political life, and have often been called “the cradle of democracy.” This book walks you through the history of Parliament from the Middle Ages to the present day, including such dramatic events as the Gunpowder Plot, the Civil War, the assassination of the Prime Minister, the suffragette protests, and the Blitzkrieg. It focuses especially on how the Christian faith has shaped parliamentary debates and ideals through the centuries.
