As Mr Barry states, "When I started writing the book I quickly realized that I was not simply writing about the emergence of the idea of religious liberty, but liberty itself."<br /><br />I recently finished reading Barry's book, recommend it to all American Creation readers, and hope to write a review of it soon.<br /><br />IMHO Edwin S. Gaustad's book, "Liberty of Conscience: Roger Williams in America" is still the best bio of Williams. For students (with other reading loads) or casual general readers, Gaustad's condensed “Roger Williams” from Oxford’s Lives & Legacies series is excellent.JMSnoreply@blogger.com
