Om Emergence of Religious Toleration in Eighteenth-Century New England
Numerous studies have analyzed the New England Puritan persecution of dissenters in the 17th and 18th centuries. This book examines the emergence of religious toleration by revisiting the circumstances leading to the first ordination of a Baptist by a Congregationalist in 1718. The event prefigured the work of John Callender (1706-1748), Baptist pastor and historian, whose life and work contributed to religious toleration in New England.
