The Bloudy Tenent of Persecution for Cause of Conscience Discussed and Mr. Cotton's Letter Examined and Answered (LARGE PRINT EDITION)

Set in 1848, the narrative follows Rogers, a member of the Seekers, as he advocates for religious liberty in England while seeking to reclaim Rhode Island's charter. The Bloudy Tenent presents a dialogue between differing views on persecution, particularly addressing the conflict between Puritan beliefs and Williams' argument for individual religious freedom as a natural right. Williams contends that civil authorities should not enforce religious laws, asserting that such actions contradict biblical teachings. This work is pivotal in the discourse on religious tolerance during its time.
