Truth and Innocence Vindicated

A vigorous defense of Nonconformist conscience against Samuel Parker's authoritarian case for absolute magisterial control over religion. Owen dismantles Parker's arguments chapter by chapter, defending liberty of conscience, the legitimate bounds of civil power in spiritual matters, and the honor of dissenting ministers falsely maligned as seditious. A landmark in the debate over religious toleration in Restoration England, combining precise theological argument with fierce yet principled polemical energy.
