Description

Decoding Roger Williams: A previously undiscovered essay by the father of American religious freedom has been deciphered and made public for the first time. In the margins of a colonial-era book, Roger Williams wrote an encrypted treatise that remained indecipherable for over 300 years. A team of scholars led by Lucas Mason-Brown cracked the code, revealing a point-by-point refutation of John Eliot's arguments in favour of infant baptism. The essay, written towards the end of Williams' life, is a significant contribution to the theological debates of his time. This book brings together the deciphered essay with critical commentary and reprints of original tracts by Norcott and Eliot, providing new insights into the thought of one of America's most influential founders.
