Publisher's Synopsis
Trials and Sufferings for Religious Liberty in New England: The Oldest Baptist Church in America Not the Providence Church is a historical book written by James Robinson Graves in 1858. The book documents the struggles and sufferings of the Baptist Church in New England in their pursuit of religious liberty. The book focuses on the oldest Baptist Church in America, which is not the Providence Church, but rather another church that has been largely overlooked in history. Graves provides a detailed account of the persecution and discrimination faced by the Baptist Church in New England during the 17th and 18th centuries. Graves also explores the theological and ideological differences between the Baptist Church and other Christian denominations, which led to their persecution. He argues that the Baptist Church's commitment to religious liberty and the separation of church and state was a threat to the established religious order in New England, which led to their mistreatment. Overall, Trials and Sufferings for Religious Liberty in New England is an important historical document that sheds light on the struggles of the Baptist Church in America and their fight for religious freedom. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in American history, religious studies, or the history of religious liberty in America.Contains The First Church In Providence, Not The Oldest Baptist Church In America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
