Product Information

God, War, and Providence tells the fascinating, epic story of resistance to Puritan domination in Rhode Island, the heretic colony that was home to the Narragansetts, seventeenth-century New England's most powerful Indian tribe, and to Roger Williams, America's leading advocate of religious freedom. Banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1635, Williams founded Providence, Rhode Island, as a place where Indian and English cultures could flourish side by side. The Puritans, however, sought to gain control over all of Rhode Island's English settlements and achieve mastery over the Narragansetts. Williams and the tribe waged a forty-year resistance against their efforts. After two military operations against the tribe failed, an army of a thousand Puritan soldiers launched a ferocious attack on the tribe's remote fort in December 1675. The Great Swamp Fight drew the Narragansetts into the tragic conflict known, as King Philip's War, the event historian Jill Lepore describes as the "defining moment, when any lingering, though slight, possibility for [Indian] political and cultural autonomy was lost." In God, War, and Providence, James A. Warren brilliantly explores the remarkable alliance between Roger Williams and the Narragansett Indians. Deeply researched and vividly told, this spellbinding account serves as a telling precedent for white-Native American encounters along the North American frontier for the next 250 years.

Reviews
"An engaging history of the long struggle between the Puritan oligarchy and New England's most important Indian tribe, in which Roger Williams, America's first advocate of religious freedom, played a vital role. Williams established Rhode Island as a refuge from Puritan domination, and a place where Indian and English settlers could live side by side, in peace. If you want to know about the origins of religious diversity and cultural pluralism in America, read this compelling book." --Chester Gillis, Professor of Theology, Georgetown University, "Warren distinguishes himself by trying to understand all the motives of the principal players in this sad, sanguinary drama....There are several simultaneous stories going on, and the author handles them all deftly." -- Kirkus Reviews, "A noted military historian trains his critical sights on Puritan New England, while putting up a staunch defense of Roger Williams, Rhode Island, and the Narragansett Indians. In this compelling story, James Warren portrays Williams as a man of peace in violent times, an intellectual whose ideas were often strikingly modern. Now recognized as a champion of religious liberty and the separation of church and state, Williams also earns Warren's praise for his pioneering ethnographic research, his fair treatment of Native Americans, and his deft maneuvering to assure the survival of a tiny but tolerant colony." --Professor Patrick M. Malone, Brown University, author of The Skulking Way of War, "Warren's well-written monograph contains a great deal of insight into the tactics of war on the frontier." -- Library Journal, "In the long and sorrowful history of Native American resistance to white encroachment, no episode raises more perplexing questions than that in which the Narragansett tribe forged a seventeenth-century alliance with the white religious dissidents of Rhode Island for their mutual protection against New England's Puritans...A riveting historical validation of emancipatory impulses frustrated in their own time." -- Booklist , starred review, "In God, War, and Providence, James Warren accomplishes many tasks: he adds to the far too brief historiography of the small, radical colony that helped to shape the philosophical underpinnings of this nation; he renders comprehensible the complex relationships of 17th century religious dissenters and Native Americans; and he exposes his readers to the challenges of researching the Colonial Era--a scant and untrustworthy written record and even fewer records that capture the Native American perspective. And all the while he does this is an engaging and enjoyable narrative that is a pleasure to read." -- C. Morgan Grefe, PhD, Executive Director, Rhode Island Historical Society
