Oliver Cromwell represented a climactic point in
post-Reformation Western civilization. But few Christian heroes have been as
maligned since. In this special Movie Night presentation, Christian historians
and experts on the life of Oliver Cromwell, Dr. Joe Morecraft and Bill Potter,

family, you can listen to the opening discussion before seeing the movie, then

the end.
