Selected Letters -- IndexBanished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony for his refusal to conform to Puritan religious and social standards, Roger Williams established a haven in Rhode Island for those persecuted in the name of the religious establishment. Davis gathers together important selections from Williams's public and private writings on religious liberty, illustrating how this renegade Puritan radically reinterpreted Christian moral theology and the events of his day in a powerful argument for freedom of conscience and the separation of church and state.John Harvard library.Freedom of religionFreedom of religion.323.44/2Williams Roger1604?-1683.258470Davis James Calvin153708MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778452103321On religious liberty3746477UNINA
