Synopsis
Excerpt from Religious Liberty in America
HE organized movement, now in full progress in America, which has for its object the control Of the minds and consciences of men, is the sufficient excuse for the appearance of this monograph. For years the writer has followed the course and studied the aims of certain American organizations whose primal object is the control of religion and religious practises by human law. With much interest and concern, he has watched their progress toward a point of coalescence under common leader ship. Realizing the rapid growth oi their numbers, the coalescence of organizations, and the growing tend ency on the part of politicians to legislate in harmony with organized demands rather than in harmony with broad principles of equitable government, he has be come fully convinced that the success Of that movement means abandonment of the principles that have made America great and stable and a beacon to the world. God created the mind to be free. He has never con ferred upon any one the right to imprison it. Human enactments which circumscribe conscience subject the Soul to a thraldom more humiliating and more ruinous than any the body has ever endured. Where conscience is fettered, there is no freedom worthy Of the name. It took many generations for men to learn that he who prescribes laws to hamper or to crush the consciences Of men makes a slave of himself and of his posterity as well as of those against whom such laws are aimed. He only is free whose mind and conscience are unfettered. He is the greatest of Slaves who must think and believe and worship only as human decrees permit or direct.
Law is good; but there is a domain into which human law has not been commissioned to enter, the domain Of the soul. There is an allegiance which the state has a right to claim; but there is another allegiance which only the Creator himself can of right demand.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the tumultuous history of religious liberty in America, tracing its roots from ancient Palestine to the turbulent era of the Reformation. The author explores how the concept of a free conscience, championed by Jesus Christ, faced fierce opposition throughout history, with both pagan and Christian powers seeking to control the minds and souls of their subjects. The book highlights the pivotal role of the Anabaptists, a radical group during the Reformation who advocated for separation of church and state and freedom of religious belief. Their courageous stand, despite persecution and even death, paved the way for the struggle for religious liberty in America. The author reveals how the American founding fathers, inspired by these earlier struggles, sought to create a nation free from the shackles of state-imposed religion. This book is a compelling exploration of the evolution of religious liberty, demonstrating how the pursuit of freedom of conscience has been a cornerstone of American identity. The book's insights on the importance of protecting individual religious freedoms remain as relevant today as they were in the founding of the nation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
