'there is no publique calamitie inflicted on man, or other creatures, of which wee may not say as the Prophet of the Assyrian tyrant, that it is the rod of Gods anger.' James Rowlandson (1623) The purpose of God, it has been said, ‘is the meaning of history. History is the arena wherein that Divine purpose is being fulfilled and the Divine judgments are made manifest.’ This statement by William Temple is an adequate summary of the Jewish view of history, subsequently adopted by Christianity and developed further by St. Paul, Eusebius of Caesarea, St. Augustine, Paulus Orosius, and numerous others throughout the millennium until the Renaissance. The first significant links in the chain of tradition were the Hebrew prophets, whose ideas, destined to become commonplaces, were forged by their strict and often militant monotheism.
