About This Book

A compilation of unpublished annals, commentary, and primary Rogerene writings reconstructs the origins, beliefs, and legal struggles of a Connecticut colonial sect. Part I offers a vindication addressing historical errors and details prosecutions, fines, imprisonments, and defamation suits involving leaders such as John Rogers, while Part II provides a history and an appendix reproduces period tracts. The contributors examine doctrinal distinctives — emphasis on New Testament authority, refusal to submit to imposed religious observances like Sabbath laws, and insistence on the separation of civil and ecclesiastical power — and document how those convictions provoked fines, courtroom battles, and social ostracism.
