The Price of Soul Liberty and Who Paid It

Description

Soul-liberty is the liberty to think and act in religious matters without human dictation or control. . . . “The chief captain said to Paul, ‘With a great price I obtained this freedom.’ So may we say, with respect to religious freedom. The price of it was great; a price paid in tears and toils and blood. But who paid this price? It is is a remark of the great American historian, Bancroft, that ‘Freedom of conscience, unlimited freedom of mind, was from the first, the trophy of the Baptists.’ This is just a remark; and it is the purpose of this little book, to furnish some of these deeply interesting facts upon which an assertion is based.”
