Description

Roger Williams: The Church and the State by Edmund S. Morgan is an illuminating portrait of a nation's earliest advocate for church-state separation. After his expulsion from the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1635, Williams founded what would become Rhode Island, driven by his passionate ideas on the nature of the church and the state. Morgan skillfully depicts Williams' intellectual life, tracing the evolution of his thoughts on the relationship between church and state. The author explores the institutions that informed Williams' worldview, from the Protestant church in England to the Massachusetts government of the 17th century. This nuanced portrayal reveals the origins of a perennial debate in American history. Forty years after its first publication, Roger Williams remains an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the complex relationship between church and state in America's past.
