Book excerpt: Among those banished was Roger Williams, the advocate of religious liberty who also founded the colony of Rhode Island and established the first Baptist church in America.

In retaliation against the use of scripture for violent purposes, Williams argued that religious liberty was a biblical concept that offered the only means of eliminating the religious wars and persecutions that plagued the seventeenth century.

Book Roger Williams and the Creation of the American Soul

Download or read book Roger Williams and the Creation of the American Soul written by John M. Barry and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2012-12-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revelatory look at the separation of church and state in America—from the New York Times bestselling author of The Great Influenza For four hundred years, Americans have fought over the proper relationships between church and state and between a free individual and the state. This is the story of the first battle in that war of ideas, a battle that led to the writing of the First Amendment and that continues to define the issue of the separation of church and state today. It began with religious persecution and ended in revolution, and along the way it defined the nature of America and of individual liberty. Acclaimed historian John M. Barry explores the development of these fundamental ideas through the story of Roger Williams, who was the first to link religious freedom to individual liberty, and who created in America the first government and society on earth informed by those beliefs. This book is essential to understanding the continuing debate over the role of religion and political power in modern life.

Download or read book Broken Lies written by Roger Williams and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-07-08 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Internal lies exist within each of us, obscured, denied, or resisted, however resident nevertheless. Some use various forms of behavior modification in an attempt to overcome their dysfunctions. Others insist upon acceptance of their mindsets and actions believing that this is who they are. And still others resolutely cling to familiar lies about themselves due to unhealthy attachment to them. BROKEN LIES is the story of one such person, Chase Macklin, a former drug dealer, who one day has a vivid vision of himself trapped in the web of a hideous spider making her final spin. Suddenly released by a prodigious hand breaking through the webbing, Chase begins a journey of discovering freedom from tortuous and destructive internal lies. Continually haunted by the mystery of the hand and an accompanying voice, Chase considers results more important than the source of his rescue. Written with poignant reflections throughout, BROKEN LIES weaves marital infidelity, deep father issues, untimely deaths, and parental responsibility into a captivating life story of recognizing, breaking, and living free of personal lies.
