Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Winning of Religious Liberty Strains them from imposing their opinions and their rule upon the world. When political liberty shall be won, how long will it be kept unless religious liberty is maintained also.2 The emancipation of society from tyranny and the deliverance of the spirit of man from human authority imposed from Without run parallel in history. Here is pointed out what the spirit of the Pilgrims has done to banish religious intolerance from the Christian world. Here are indicated steps which may be taken to reorganize the forces of the community so that individuals of different ideals and convie tions can live together in religious relations as peacefully as men of different political convic tions live together in organized society. I know of no other recently published volume which so impressively sets forth the value of the Congregational Order in its bearing on the worship of God and the service of men. It will aid the average reader to a fair judg ment of leaders in ecclesiastical history whom he has been taught to revere and those he has been directed to condemn because of their religious views. The liberty of mankind to develop through the democratic spirit can be secured only in the direction indicated by the trend of history as described in this volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Winning of Religious Liberty Political freedom and religious freedom stand or fall together. Both require organization for their development. Can the State and the Church flourish together, each independent of the other, yet in harmony? The author of this volume regards such a condition of society as the goal of democracy. He seems to have begun his work with a study of the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony; then to have been led by it to examine the historic forces which came to find expression in the common life of that heroic band. His researches have kindled his enthusiasm. They have inspired him to give this history of religious intolerance and progress toward tolerance the fascination of a romance. It is a long road back from the forming of a body politic in the Mayflower to the establishment of a Christian Church by the disciples of Jesus. But the author essays to traverse it so far as to be able to conclude that "in the present world crisis, not Pope Benedict, but an American layman. President Wilson, has given ex-expression to the conscience of mankind." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religious Liberty in the United States The cradle of religious liberty has been rocked by the worst passions of mankind. Until comparatively recent times, every sect was intol erant from conviction, and held it as a sacred duty to banish or burn the unrepentant heretics. Even heretics, when they became dominant, were not less intolerant toward their former orthodox persecutors. Do unto others as others have done unto you was the rule of persecutors. Heresy, whatever it may signify ecclesiastically, was his torically the penalty for dissent exacted by the State religion from conscientious sectaries. I never knew the time in England, said Milton, when men of truest religion were not counted sectaries.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Roger Williams written by Oscar S. Straus and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roger Williams: The Pioneer of Religious Liberty In 1834 Professor James D. Knowles pub lished a memoir Of Roger Williams, which, though encumbered with documents, was a valuable contribution toward a more cor rect estimate of the character and work Of this great reformer. This, in 1846, was fol lowed by a shorter life written by Professor William Gammell of Brown University; and in 1852 Rev. Dr. Romeo Elton published a life containing some additional data de rived from the Sadleir correspondence. All of these biographies are long out of print. Since these were written some valuable ad ditional material has been discovered. I have freely consulted this, as well as every reliable source of information, especially the records and the works Of Roger Williams himself. Wherever possible I have let him speak through his own writings, as best cal culated to illustrate his motives and personal characteristics. He was the pioneer Of Re ligious Liberty. His whole life throbbed with that principle, upon which as a basis he was the first to establish a political com munity. The influence Of his lively experi ment I will not attempt to measure. He was the apostle Of the American system Of a free Church in a free State. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Development of Religious Liberty in Connecticut Classic Reprint written by M. Louise Greene and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of Religious Liberty in Connecticut The following monograph is the outgrowth of three earlier and shorter essays. The first, "Church and State in Connecticut to 1818," was presented to Yale University as a doctor's thesis. The second, a briefer and more popularly written article, won the Straus prize offered in 1896 through Brown University by the Hon. Oscar S. Straus. The third, a paper containing additional matter, was so far approved by the American Historical Association as to receive honorable mention in the Justin Winsor prize competition of 1901. With such encouragement, it seemed as if the history of the development of religious liberty in Connecticut might serve a larger purpose than that of satisfying personal interest alone. In Connecticut such development was not marked, as so often elsewhere, by wild disorder, outrageous oppression, tyranny of classes, civil war, or by any great retrograde movement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New England's Struggles for Religious Liberty No people in their beginnings have left richer or more abundant materials for veritable history than have the Pilgrim and Puritan fathers of New England. And it is a matter of rejoicing that a fresh popular interest in our Colonial times has been awakened in recent years. An indication of this interest is plainly seen in such writings as those of S. G. and S. A. Drake, of Charles F. and Brooks Adams, of Prof. John Fiske, of Alice Morse Earle, and of several other recent writers. The "Margaret Winthrop," by Mrs. Earle, especially, has much authentic and interesting historic material. The original and chief sources from which our work is drawn are, of course, given in the body of the text and need not be mentioned here. If allowed to particularize, however, I should say that perhaps, in a considerable part of my work, nothing has been more interestingly helpful to me than the treasures of the library of the "Backus Historical Society," in Newton Center, and of the Massachusetts Archives, in the State House in Boston.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Conflict: A Discourse Concerning Baptists, and Religious Liberty Island, we read, for the first time since Christianity ascended the throne of the Caesars, the declaration that conscience should be free, and men should not be punished for worshipping God in the way they were persuaded he requires. The devotion of this denomination of Christians to this glorious doctrine has been set forth recently, in no measured terms, by Herbert S. Skeats, who in his History of the Free Churches of England (p. Testifies: It is the singular and distinguished honor of the Baptists, to have repudiated from their earliest history all coercive power over the con sciences and the actions of men with reference to religion. No sentence is to be found in all their writings inconsistent with these principles of Chris tian liberty and willinghood which are now equally dear to all the free Congregational Churches of Eng land. They were the proto-evangelists of the volun tary principle. And in a foot-note he adds, The author of this is not connected with the Baptist denomination, and has therefore, perhaps, greater pleasure in bearing this testimony to' undoubted historical fact. To all of which our national annalist, Bancroft, sets his seal in the now familiar words, Freedom of conscience, unlimited freedom of mind, was, from the first, the trophy of the Baptists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Banished 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.
