Book Synopsis
Beyond the Persecuting Society constructs a history of toleration from the Middle Ages through the seventeenth century.

Trade Review
"Beyond the Persecuting Society confronts the myth that there was no general conception or practice of religious toleration before the Enlightenment. . . . It is the great strength of this collection that the diversity and richness of the often tentative allowance for confessional pluralism can be documented at times when unity of faith was seen as no less necessary than unity of obedience." * Albion *
