From the front page of The New York Times" to You Tube Dr. Wafa Sultan has become a force radical Islam has to reckon with.

Cromwell spent only nine months of his eventful life in Ireland yet he stands accused there of war crimes religious persecution & ethnic cleansing. In a century of unrelenting bloody warfare & religious persecution throughout Europe Cromwell was in many ways a product of his times. As commander-in-chief of the army in Ireland however the responsibilities for the excesses of the military must be laid firmly at his door while the harsh nature of the post-war settlement also bears his personal imprint. A warrior of Christ somewhat like the crusaders of medieval Europe he acted as Gods executioner convinced throughout the horrors of the legitimacy of his cause & striving to build a better world for the chosen few. ...

The Puritan Revolution escaped the control of its creators. The parliamentarians who went to war with Charles I in 1642 did not want or expect the fundamental changes that would follow seven years later: the trial & execution of the king the abolition of the House of Lords & the creation of the only republic in English history. There were startling & unexpected developments too in religion & ideas: the spread of unorthodox doctrines; the attainment of a wide measure of liberty of conscience; new thinking about the moral & intellectual bases of politics & society. Gods Instruments centres on the principal instrument of radical change Oliver Cromwell & on the unfamiliar landscape of the decade he dominated from the abolition of the monarchy in 1649 to the return of the Stuart dynasty in 1660. Its theme is the relationship between the beliefs or convictions of politicians & their decisions & actions. Blair Worden explores the biblical dimension of Puritan politics; the ways that a belief in the workings of divine providence affected political conduct; Cromwells commitment to liberty of conscience & his search for godly reformation through educational reform; the constitutional premises of his rule & those of his opponents in the struggle for supremacy between parliamentary & military rule; the relationship between conceptions of civil & religious liberty. The conflicts Worden reconstructs are placed in the perspective of long-term developments of which historians have lost sight in ideas about parliament & about freedom. The final chapters turn to the guiding convictions of two writers at the heart of politics John Milton & the royalist Edward Hyde the future Earl of Clarendon. Material from previously published essays much of it expanded & extensively revised comes together with freshly written chapters. ...
