Roger Williams (1603-83) founded the Providence Plantations, established the first Baptist church in the New World, and was instrumental in developing the ideas of freedom of religion and separation of church and state that came to define this country. Barry’s account of Williams’s seminal thought provides a vivid picture of the 17th century—essential background for understanding debates still under way today.
