The Bloudy Tenent of Persecution, for Cause of Conscience, Discussed, in a Conference betweene Truth and Peace

Book • 1848
Roger Williams' seminal work condemns the doctrine of persecution for religious beliefs, holding it responsible for the blood of countless souls.

He argues that civil states are essentially civil and cannot judge spiritual matters, that God does not require enforced religious uniformity, and that scripture supports toleration of differing consciences until divine judgment.

Written as a dialogue between Truth and Peace, it critiques figures like John Cotton and defends liberty of conscience.
