This well-preserved copy of “Champion of Liberty: The Story of Roger Williams” by Norman E. Nygaard offers a captivating exploration of the life and legacy of one of the most influential figures in early American history. Roger Williams, a Puritan minister and theologian, is renowned for his advocacy of religious freedom and separation of church and state – principles that would later become cornerstones of the United States Constitution. Nygaard’s meticulously researched biography delves into Williams’ courageous stand against the religious intolerance of his time, his banishment from the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and his subsequent founding of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations – a haven for those seeking religious liberty. This volume not only sheds light on Williams’ profound impact on the shaping of American values but also provides valuable insights into the tumultuous religious and political landscape of 17th-century New England. A must-have for collectors and readers interested in early American history, religious freedom, and the enduring influence of visionary thinkers.
