The Complete Writings of Roger Williams, Volume 2: John Cotton's Answer to Roger Williams, Queries of Highest Consideration

About the Author

Roger Williams (1603-1683) grew up in Puritan circles in London, sailed to Massachusetts in 1630, and, having been banished for his controversial views on the separation of church and state, founded Rhode Island on the basis of his new principles of religious liberty.
