Roger Williams is not only the founder of Rhode Island, and our forgotten Founding Father, he also left a legacy for us to consider on civility through deep religious and political difference, and religious freedom. In this podcast we discuss Williams with James Calvin Davis, George Adams Ellis Professor of Liberal Arts and Religion at Middlebury College. He is the author of five books on the relationship between Christianity and public life, including The Moral Theology of Roger Williams (2004), In Defense of Civility (2010), Forbearance (2017), and the forthcoming American Liturgy: Finding Theological Meaning in the Holy Days of US Culture.
