- Title
Roger Williams: Conviction among the Convicted.
- Authors

- Abstract
In a time of religious conflict due to globalization and increasing fundamentalism, it is useful to consider historical experiences in order to glean wisdom from those situations. This article considers a Puritan thinker, Roger Williams, who encountered the same troubles in the 'New World of America' that we experience in our modern world. Williams's thoughts on religious freedom, separation of church and state, and diversity as Christian values are as useful in the twenty-first century as they were in the seventeenth. Some of his ideas are unpacked with the view that they are still helpful in formulating a response to societal turmoil.
