Book excerpt: Excerpt from Divinity Studies: Number One; The Contest for Liberty of Conscience in England Philip Schaff, in his Progress of Religious Freedom, has made the more general assertion that the Baptists and Quakers alone (and Protestant denominations of later date) were con sistent advocates of universal toleration, and put it in their creeds (p. None of these statements lacks in positiveness, nor is there one of these historians whose name does not give weight to his assertion; yet, combined, they tend to produce an uncertainty in the public mind. There are those who say: The battle is won; why give our attention to it now? Happy should we he could we know that the battle is won for the entire future. Persecution, though banished, may come back. The struggle of the early church for place and power was rewarded during the reign of Constantine; but an enthroned church soon became an intolerant church. Cen turies later a spirit of inquiry arose in Germany and led quickly to active dissent. The right to differ in religious thought from the pope and councils was claimed by Luther; but he soon con tended that none ought to differ from him; and to this the docile Melanchthon agreed. Calvin made the same claim of right for himself, and enforced by voice and action the same denial of liberty to others. Beza vehemently denied the right of dissent, while John Knox poured forth a tempest of wrath against those who disagreed with him in the faith. In England scores, now Catholics, now Protestants, were tortured and put to death for their religious beliefs. This violence has passed, and we would fain assure ourselves that complete freedom of con science, at least among the anglo-saxon peoples, has been attained and established as our permanent inheritance.

Download or read book Conscience and Community written by Andrew R. Murphy and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religious toleration appears near the top of any short list of core liberal democratic values. Theorists from John Locke to John Rawls emphasize important interconnections between the principles of toleration, constitutional government, and the rule of law. Conscience and Community revisits the historical emergence of religious liberty in the Anglo-American tradition, looking deeper than the traditional emergence of toleration to find not a series of self-evident or logically connected expansions but instead a far more complex evolution. Murphy argues that contemporary liberal theorists have misunderstood and misconstrued the actual historical development of toleration in theory and practice. Murphy approaches the concept through three &"myths&" about religious toleration: that it was opposed only by ignorant, narrow-minded persecutors; that it was achieved by skeptical Enlightenment rationalists; and that tolerationist arguments generalize easily from religion to issues such as gender, race, ethnicity, and sexuality, providing a basis for identity politics.
Download or read book They Knew They Were Pilgrims written by John G. Turner and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ambitious new history of the Pilgrims and Plymouth Colony, published for the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower’s landing In 1620, separatists from the Church of England set sail across the Atlantic aboard the Mayflower. Understanding themselves as spiritual pilgrims, they left to preserve their liberty to worship God in accordance with their understanding of the Bible. There exists, however, an alternative, more dispiriting version of their story. In it, the Pilgrims are religious zealots who persecuted dissenters and decimated the Native peoples through warfare and by stealing their land. The Pilgrims’ definition of liberty was, in practice, very narrow. Drawing on original research using underutilized sources, John G. Turner moves beyond these familiar narratives in his sweeping and authoritative new history of Plymouth Colony. Instead of depicting the Pilgrims as otherworldly saints or extraordinary sinners, he tells how a variety of English settlers and Native peoples engaged in a contest for the meaning of American liberty.
