Morgan's Roger Williams skillfully depicts the intellectual life of the man who, after his expulsion in 1635 from the Massachusetts Bay Colony, founded what would become Rhode Island. As Morgan re-creates the evolution of Williams's thoughts on the nature of the church and the state, he captures with characteristic economy and precision the institutions that informed Williams's worldview, from the Protestant church in England to the Massachusetts government in the seventeenth century. In doing so, Morgan reveals the origins of a perennial&#151;and heated&#151;American debate, told through the ideas of one of the most brilliant polemicists on the subject, a man whose mind, as Morgan describes, "drove him to examine accepted ideas and carry them to unacceptable conclusions." Forty years after its first publication, <I>Roger Williams</I> remains essential reading for anyone interested in the church, the state, and the right relation of the two. 990266 28 5 1997 Roger Williams: The Church and the State total:13|5:1|4:6|3:6| 13 47 20 3 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Sep 09 19:54:55 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 09 19:56:08 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Thu Mar 13 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Feb 29 11:35:31 -0800 2008 Fri Mar 14 20:50:44 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Wed Apr 30 15:52:36 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 06 21:34:36 -0700 2009
