About this book
In a time marked by religious strife and the quest for spiritual autonomy, Roger Williams boldly confronts the moral dilemmas of faith in "The Bloudy Tenent of Persecution for Cause of Conscience Discussed and Mr. Cotton's Letter Examined and Answered." This pivotal work critiques the notion of enforced belief, advocating for the separation of church and state while emphasizing the sanctity of individual conscience. Williams challenges the prevailing doctrines of his day, arguing that true faith cannot be coerced. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this document serves as a foundational text in the discourse on religious freedom and the ethical implications of persecution. Engage with Williams' compelling arguments and explore the roots of liberty in thought and belief.
