Book excerpt: "Now As TO ROGER WILLIAMS" not much remains to be said, since the publication of Dr. Dexter's monograph. We are somewhat late in our notice of this work; but we may express our judgment the more confidently for having taken time to think about it. Our judgment is that whatever questions may be raised, here and there, touching the author's interpretation of some subordinate and incidental facts, his vindication of the Massachusetts authorities in their dealings with Roger Williams is complete. Concede to that "fiery Welshman" all that is claimed for him as the apostle of what he called "soul liberty" - admit that the Massachusetts fathers had no just conception of the distinction between church and State, and that they never doubted their right or their duty to suppress by power whatever opinion might seem to them dangerous - the fact remains (and Dr. Dexter has set it in a clear light), that Roger Williams, with all his genius, and all the picturesqueness of his figure in history, was not, at the time when he lived in Massachusetts, the right man in the right place. Erratic, enthusiastic, heady, fascinating in his gift of eloquence, magnetic in his influence on kindred minds, he was just the man with whom it was impossible to get on except by absolute submission to his whims; and his whims, in the then perilous condition of that colony, were hardly less dangerous than the caprices of a child playing with fire. The case was this: "A certain corporation, named 'the Governor and Company of the Massachusetts Bay, ' was the chartered proprietor of the territory in which it was beginning to plant a religious colony. The Company was formed, and the colony was to be established in the interest of certain religious convictions. Whether those convictions were correct or erroneous, liberal or narrow, is neither here nor there; the doctrine of "soul liberty" is that religious convictions, as such, are to be respected. Were not the religious convictions of 'the Governor and Company' as sacred a thing as the religious convictions of Roger Williams? By their charter from the English crown, and by the equity of common sense, the founders of Massachusetts had a right to admit whom they would into their partnership, and to shutout any who seemed likely to be troublesome members - the same right that a missionary society has to determine who shall, and who shall not, partake in its management at home or in the work at its missionary stations. They had a right to determine who should inhabit their territory, and under what conditions - the same right which a 'tetotal' colony by the name of Greeley or by any other name, whether in Colorado or in New Jersey, has to make some pledge of total abstinence a condition of the tenure of town lots. Outside of Massachusetts there was room enough for all who could not accept the principles on which that colony was to be established. If Roger Williams could not accept those principles, there was room for him elsewhere, and not very far away- -as was afterwards demonstrated by experiment...."

Book Synopsis Roger Williams and the Creation of the American Soul by : John M. Barry
Download or read book Roger Williams and the Creation of the American Soul written by John M. Barry and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-01-05 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revelatory look at how Roger Williams shaped the nature of religion, political power, and individual rights in America. For four hundred years, Americans have wrestled with and fought over two concepts that define the nature of the nation: the proper relation between church and state and between a free individual and the state. These debates began with the extraordinary thought and struggles of Roger Williams, who had an unparalleled understanding of the conflict between a government that justified itself by "reason of state"-i.e. national security-and its perceived "will of God" and the "ancient rights and liberties" of individuals. This is a story of power, set against Puritan America and the English Civil War. Williams's interactions with King James, Francis Bacon, Oliver Cromwell, and his mentor Edward Coke set his course, but his fundamental ideas came to fruition in America, as Williams, though a Puritan, collided with John Winthrop's vision of his "City upon a Hill." Acclaimed historian John M. Barry explores the development of these fundamental ideas through the story of the man who was the first to link religious freedom to individual liberty, and who created in America the first government and society on earth informed by those beliefs. The story is essential to the continuing debate over how we define the role of religion and political power in modern American life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roger Williams (ca. 1603-83), religious leader and one of the founders of Rhode Island, was the son of a well-to-do London businessman. Educated at Cambridge (A.B., 1627) he became a clergyman and in 1630 sailed for Massachusetts. He refused a call to the church of Boston because it had not formally broken with the Church of England, but after two invitations he became the assistant pastor, later pastor, of the church at Salem. He questioned the right of the colonists to take the Indians' land from them merely on the legal basis of the royal charter and in other ways ran afoul of the oligarchy then ruling Massachusetts. In 1635 he was found guilty of spreading 'new authority of magistrates' and was ordered to be banished from the colony. He lived briefly with friendly Indians and then, in 1636, founded Providence in what was to be the colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. His religious views led him to become briefly a Baptist, later a Seeker. In 1644, while he was in England getting a charter for his colony from Parliament, he wrote the work from which this dialogue is taken. During much of his later life he was engaged in polemics on political and religious questions. A Plea for Religious Liberty (1644) is his most famous work.

Book Synopsis The First American Founder by : Alan E. Johnson
Download or read book The First American Founder written by Alan E. Johnson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roger Williams, a deeply religious minister in seventeenth-century New England, revolutionized thinking about the role government should play in religion. Banished from Massachusetts for his controversial views, he founded the Town of Providence on the basis of full liberty of conscience and total separation of church and state. These radical ideas were adopted by the Colony of Providence Plantations, which later became known as the Colony and then State of Rhode Island. Williams also insisted, contrary to the prevailing orthodoxy, that Europeans could acquire American land only through voluntary transactions with Native Americans. This is the story of the dramatic life, thought, and work of a man who refused to accept the conventional wisdom of his time and who forged a new way of thinking that came to characterize the best in the American tradition. Born and raised in England, Williams knew or otherwise personally encountered-during his youth or in later return visits-some of the greatest figures of English history: Sir Edward Coke, Sir Francis Bacon, King James I, the young man who became King Charles I, John Milton, Oliver Cromwell. In contrast to such famous contemporaries, Williams persistently argued, publicly and unambiguously, for complete liberty of conscience and a wall of separation between church and state-both for America and for Europe. At a time when most of the governments in Europe and America promulgated some form of established religion that persecuted religious dissenters, Williams founded a polity that was explicitly based on the principles and values of what became, more than 150 years later, the Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The First American Founder traces, often in Roger Williams's own colorful words, the conflicts that Williams and his settlement experienced in maintaining a haven for persecuted religious minorities. Those challenges came both in the form of military and political imperialism from other colonies and from internal dissension. The book explains how Williams faced these issues and managed to create and preserve a political society whose principles we could recognize today. It also discusses how Williams influenced, directly and indirectly, the generation that later fought the Revolutionary War and established the Constitution and Bill of Rights. This work is written for both the general reader and the professional historian. The main text is readable by all. The endnotes and appendices contain scholarly documentation and discussion that will satisfy the most meticulous student of history.
