Liberty of Conscience : Roger Williams in America (Book review)

Notes: Review of the "first four volumes in the 'Library of Religious Biography Series', published by William B. Eerdmans and edited by Mark Noll and Nathan Hatch, [that] provide convincing proof that fine biographical writing is still very much alive in Anglo-American scholarship". "Preoccupied with 'liberty of conscience' and 'the separation of Church and State', Williams created problems wherever he went. .... Gaustad has captured brilliantly the irascible temper of this seventeenth-century man of principle whose vision of America pointed to a post-Revolution future rather than to a pre-seventeenth-century past".
