Roger Williams: The Church and the State

Edmund Morgan is a well-known historian of the colonial period, especially with regards to issues of religion, and this book well explains the source of that fame. Morgan is an eminently skilled writer and treats this complex subject with concision and scrutiny. His bent is kind to the somewhat tumultuous legacy of Roger Williams, but this bent in no way impedes a dispassionate treatment of the subject well argued with the relevant available facts.Anyone with interest in American religion would be well served to read this.

I used the book for research. The content is researched very well, and the writing is highly accessible. Overall, the book was very useful to my project.

Not enough detail. reached some dubious conclusions. I like the John Barry book on Roger williams much more. I had both books.

This is a carefully written but well documented work on Williams' distinctive contribution to the relationship between church and state

My grown son likes this book for many reasons and so do others I know . I haven't read it yet but from just what others are saying it is very good reading.

This is a valuable book in the on-going discussion of the history of Church-State relations in America.The volume arrived promptly and in excellent condition.I commend the book dealer for his/her professionalism.

This was a gift. The recipient stated that the presentation gave him a good overall view of the seperation of church and state.
