The Bloody Tenant Yet More Bloody: By Mr. Cottons Endeavor To Wash It White In The Blood Of The Lamb (1652) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781436656313)

The Bloody Tenant Yet More Bloody: By Mr. Cottons Endeavor To Wash It White In The Blood Of The Lamb is a book written by Roger Williams in 1652. The book is a response to John Cotton's defense of religious persecution in his book, The Bloody Tenant Washed and Made White in the Blood of the Lamb. Williams argues that religious persecution is not only unjust but also contrary to the teachings of Christ. He also challenges Cotton's interpretation of the Bible and argues that true Christianity is based on love and tolerance. The book is considered a landmark in the history of religious freedom and has had a significant influence on the development of American democracy.The Bloody Tenant Yet More Bloody: By Mr. Cottons Endeavor To Wash It White In The Blood Of The Lamb: Of Whose Precious Blood, Spilt In The Blood Of His Servants; And Of The Blood Of Millions Spilt In Former And Later Wars For Conscience Sake, That Most Bloody Tenant Of Persecution For Cause Of Conscience, Upon A Second Trial, Is Found Now More Apparently And More Notoriously Guilty.
