Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"With interpretive subtlety and great narrative flair, Hall succeeds admirably. His book deserves a wide audience and intensive course assignment... Just as Williams emerges from Hall's pages as a complex hero, his Puritan persecutors are fully human opponents rather than cardboard villains. Explaining both Williams and the Massachusetts authorities in their own terms, Hall makes them as intelligible to us as they were to each other -- no small achievement." - Jame Kamensky, The Journal of American History

Table of Contents
Separation and banishment -- The premises of religious establishment in the Massachusetts Bay Colony -- Challenging the logic of the puritan establishme -- Order and "civility" -- Roger Williams and the theoretical foundations of the First Amendment --The significance of Roger Williams.
