Topic:
In 1644, Williams published The Bloudy Tenent of Persecution which is considered his most famous work. It is a fierce attack on religious and political intolerance in both Old England and New. He advocated for free thought and belief because he believed it was the only means to true faith and religion. His ideas raised questions and challenges but his ideas endured over time.
