The Making of Oliver Cromwell
The first volume in a pioneering account of Oliver Cromwell—providing a major new interpretation of one of the greatest figures in history Oliver Cromwell (1599–1658)—the only English commoner to become the overall head of state—is one of the great figures of history, but his character was very complex. He was at once courageous and devout, devious and self-serving; as a parliamentarian, he was devoted to his cause; as a soldier, he was ruthless. Cromwell’s speeches and writings surpass in quantity those of any other ruler of England before Victoria and, for those seeking to understand him, he has usually been taken at his word. In this remarkable new work, Ronald Hutton untangles the facts from the fiction. Cromwell, pursuing his devotion to God and cementing his Puritan support base, quickly transformed from obscure provincial to military victor. At the end of the first English Civil War, he was poised to take power. Hutton reveals a man who was both genuine in his faith and deliberate in his dishonesty—and uncovers the inner workings of the man who has puzzled biographers for centuries.

My Thoughts
In the Book of Habakkuk, God answers a question asked of by the prophet by saying the following, "And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it" (Habakkuk 2:2). The reason that so many people, both believers and nonbelievers, are in the conditions they are in is because they have allowed themselves to "lose" the vision, especially the vision of our coming of the Lord Jesus. They have all owed themselves to be "blinded" by the "things" of this world. The apostle Paul stated it like this: "In whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is t...
