This book begins by discussing the history of anti-heresy laws, specifically focusing on Sunday laws in the context of America, where the author posits that such laws went into effect not as a means of religious freedom, but rather as a way to control religious expression. The author then embarks on an exhaustive historical analysis of how the idea of compelling one's belief through the power of the state became so closely linked to the concept of religious freedom that the two became nearly indistinguishable. This important text reviews Christian history to demonstrate how a notion of inherent power evolved and how those without power were persecuted by those wielding it. The book also covers the discoveries of religious toleration and equality as well as how these ideas are still nascent even in the present day.
