Book Description

Not Peace But a Sword provides a case study in religious radicalism, as exemplified by the Puritanism of the English Revolution. Based on sermons preached to the Long Parliament and other political bodies, Stephen Baskerville demonstrates how Puritan religious and political ideas transformed the English Civil War into the world’s first great modern revolution. To understand why, Baskerville analyzes the underlying social changes that gave rise to Puritan radicalism. The Puritan intellectuals developed the sermon into a medium that conveyed not only popular political understanding but also a sophisticated political sociology that articulated a new social and political consciousness. In the process, they challenged the traditional political order and created a new order by appealing to the needs and concerns of a people caught up in the problems of rapid social and economic change. The book explores the social psychology behind the rise of Puritanism, as the Puritan ministers themselves presented it, through textual criticism of their own words, placing them in the mental context of their time, and offers a new understanding of the link between religious ideas and revolutionary politics.

Book Description

From “the queen of royal fiction” (USA TODAY) comes this New York Times bestseller featuring three very different women whose fates are each bound by a bloody curse: the legacy of the Boleyn family. After the death of his third wife, Jane Seymour, King Henry VIII of England decides to take a new wife, but this time, not for love. The Boleyn Inheritance follows three women whose lives are forever changed because of the king’s decision, as they must balance precariously in an already shaky Tudor Court. Anne of Cleves is to be married to Henry to form a political alliance, though the rocky relationship she has to the king does not bode well for her or for England. Katherine Howard is the young, beautiful woman who captures Henry’s eye, even though he is set to marry Anne. Her spirit runs free and her passions run hot—though her affections may not be returned upon the King. Jane Rochford was married to George Boleyn, and it was her testimony that sent her husband and infamous sister-in-law Anne to their deaths. Throughout the country, her name is known for malice, jealousy, and twisted lust. The Boleyn Inheritance is a novel drawn tight as a lute string about three women whose positions brought them wealth, admirations, and power, as well as deceit, betrayal, and terror.

A murder confession was all he left behind. She thought she knew her husband. But everyone has secrets, and some secrets can kill. Damara had the perfect husband. Ever since the war started, she’d been prepared for this moment: when a messenger arrived to inform her of his death. What she hadn’t expected was his sister, the Queen, to deliver the news. And nothing could have prepared her for the truth: he was a murderer and the king’s spy. While trying to uncover a plot against the king, he was killed. Before he died, he left evidence behind and put his wife and son in danger. Now it’s up to Damara to expose them before they come for her too. To do so, she must follow the clues her husband left behind and join the secret society he had infiltrated. The deeper she goes, the more she questions her own alliances. In court where deceit and betrayal are common, no one can be trusted, even family. Torn between the ghost of her husband, and her new role as spy, Damara must find the real killer, before she becomes their next victim. A murder mystery, and courtly intrigue that readers say left them guessing until the end. Get this standalone prequel to the Reign of Prophecy series today!
