Oliver Cromwell-Death Mask

Since we are listening to the series on Oliver Cromwell, I thought it was interesting that Doug Philips had this post up on his blog. Pastor Morecraft has personally shown us this death mask before, he comment? "Ugly Cus' wasn't he?" All in all it is pretty neat. And, Morecraft has this death mask housed on a book shelf in his library at Chalcedon.

Holding Cromwell's Head

It was my distinct pleasure to spend an hour in the pastor’s study of Dr. Joe Morecraft, host of the 40th Anniversary Chalcedon Conference, who handed me a copy of the death mask of hero Oliver Cromwell.

The death mask was taken at the moment of death and has been preserved over the years. Upon the return of Charles II to England and his assumption of the throne, Cromwell and his daughter were disinterred, their corpses decapitated, and their heads placed on the gates of London where they remained for some time. Notwithstanding their posthumous desecration by King and Anglican elite, Cromwell remains one of the great figures in the history of Christendom.

Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector, Part I

Charles I and Oliver Cromwell ~ By Joe Morecraft

Oliver Cromwell

Lord Protector of England, Scotland, and Ireland.

King Charles, I of England

This, and the following messages are taken from the 'History of the Reformation' by Dr. Joe C. Morecraft, III. They are a great resource for any Christian or student of history.

You can find the whole series on Sermon Audio. There is the brief introduction to this amazing series posted on Sermon Audio:

The Reformation comes alive in this fascinating study of its history.

In 49 messages, Joe Morecraft covers the most important people and events of the Reformation. Beginning with the Westminster Confession and ending with the lives of many of the Westminster Divines, he covers the Scottish Covenanters, John Calvin, John Knox, Oliver Cromwell as well as some of the Reformation's darkest villains like Bloody Mary and King James I.

This series is a must listen for any serious student of church history as well as those who just love the stories of the faithful men and women who worked, many of them suffering great persecution, to return the Church to faithfulness.
