Religious Liberty: A Dissenting Protestant History and Reading List

About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of credible historical sources in understanding religious liberty from a Protestant perspective.

"My advice is to be careful what you read online. I have found that even resources claiming to represent Reformed Baptist views are often very selective in their sources. For example, if a work lays claim to a Baptistic historical view but doesn’t include Roger Williams or Isaac Backus in any meaningful way, it shouldn’t be taken seriously. Men like Murton and Williams are the historical core of the idea of soul liberty and cannot be ignored if one wants to reach credible conclusions." -Ron Miller For more information, visit CBTSeminary.org
