Description

Baptists and Toleration during the Period of the Civil Wars.

Can it ever be right for Christians to persecute other Christians? What did the Puritans say should be the response to those who deviated from them in doctrine? Do we need a more balanced and informed view of the Puritans and their teaching on Christian liberty? This startling booklet will be an eye-opener to many who read it for the first time.

The knowledge that genuine Christians have persecuted genuine Christians rightly fills us with horror. We know this happened on the Continent at the time of the Reformation, but it will come to us as a shock to discover that the Puritans were more than prepared to do this. The facts of history cannot be denied but they can be ignored. This, alas, has happened, and needs to be remedied lest we have an unbalanced view of those we should admire but not idolize.
