Strickland traces the roots of Roger Williams’s convictions back through the Anabaptists and the Swiss confession of Schaffhausen, then follows Williams from England to Massachusetts, his banishment, and the founding of Rhode Island. Throughout he presents Williams as the champion of soul-liberty, a state in which conscience is free and church and government stand apart.
