Roger Williams: Prophet and Pioneer (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781436684330)

""Roger Williams: Prophet And Pioneer"" is a biography written by Emily Easton that explores the life and legacy of Roger Williams, a prominent figure in American history. Williams was a religious dissenter and founder of the colony of Rhode Island, but his contributions to the development of religious freedom and democracy in America are often overlooked. This book delves into Williams' early life, his theological beliefs, and his struggles with the Puritan establishment in Massachusetts Bay Colony. The author also examines Williams' relationships with Native Americans and his advocacy for their rights. Through his experiences, Williams developed a unique vision for a society that valued individual liberty and the separation of church and state. This book provides a comprehensive look at the life of one of America's most important and influential thinkers, shedding light on the ideas and values that shaped the nation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
