This volume examines the various theological aspects of divorce and remarriage--historical, contemporary, exegetical, and practical--recognizing that all are subject to the teaching of Scripture. This is done in such a way that readers may follow the author's thinking and so form their own practical theology of this difficult ethical issue.

Louis XIV of France ranks as one of the most remarkable monarchs in history. Dubbed the 'Sun King' during his own lifetime, his rule has since been hailed as the most supreme example of a type of government-- 'absolutism'. Yet despite his astonishing fame, many aspects of his life and rule remain a mystery. Through an extensive range of primary and secondary sources, students are encouraged to examine the questions in this book, and to assess the true nature of the 'age of Louis XIV'.

Intended primarily for A-level students, this work draws on a wide variety of primary sources to examine what drove Cromwell as a soldier, politician, statesman and religious visionary. The book includes examination-based questions to stretch the student's skills in evaluating historical evidence.
