Excerpt from The History of Religious Liberty From the First Propagation of Christianity in Britain, to the Death of George III, Vol. 1 of 2: Including Its Successive State, Beneficial Influence, and Powerful Interruptions
Had the Christians of former ages firmly adhered to the authority of the Gospel, as sacred and inviola ble, discarding the fatal principle of expediency; had they consulted the will of Christ as contained in his holy word, instead of idolizing the taste, the caprice, the fashion of the day, the man of sin would never have trampled upon the prostrate liberties of Christ endom; nor would the darkness of the middle ages have wrapt in its deadly shades, from generation to generation, the churches of the living God.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the history of religious liberty in Britain, from the early days of Christianity to the reign of Henry VII. The author argues that the early British churches were founded on principles of voluntarism and individual conscience, and that these principles were gradually eroded by imperial oppression. The book explores the various ways in which the state has interfered with religious freedom in Britain, including the use of persecution, coercion, and censorship. It also examines the role of religious dissent in British history, and the ways in which dissenting groups have contributed to the development of religious liberty. Ultimately, the book argues that religious liberty is a fundamental human right that must be protected from all forms of government interference. It is a timely and important work that sheds new light on the history of religious freedom in Britain, and its relevance to the present day.
