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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spirit of Roger Williams: With a Portrait of One of His Descendants This unpretending little volume, it is hoped, will not prove altogether uninteresting to those who may favor the author with its perusal. Should it fall into the hands of the rigerous sectary, he will doubtless be induced to pass the sentence of condemnation on the writer's views of Christian liberty, and what he considers the only true test of Christian fellowship. But such are respectfully invited to lay aside prejudice, at least for a time, and carefully to compare those views with the precepts and practice of Christ and his Apostles, and then, honestly, and with the true Christian spirit, determine, whether those views be not more consistent with the true spirit of religion, with the welfare and prosperity of the church, and the present and future happiness of mankind, than that system which is narrowed to a single point, and excludes from fellowship and communion, for one supposed error in judgment, the person whose heart may be right. To those whose views agree with those of the writer, he has only to say, that no effort has been made at embellishment; the only object being, to promote the cause of truth and righteousness, and to stimulate others to co-operate in the great and glorious work.
