Publisher's Synopsis
An Appeal to the Public for Religious Liberty, Against the Oppressions of the Present Day is a book written by Isaac Backus and published in 1773. The book is a passionate plea for religious freedom in the American colonies, which were still under British rule at the time. Backus argues that the government has no right to interfere with an individual's religious beliefs or practices, and that all people should be free to worship as they please without fear of persecution or discrimination. He also criticizes the established churches of the time for their role in suppressing dissent and promoting conformity. The book is a powerful call to action for all those who value religious freedom and believe in the importance of individual liberty. It remains an important historical document in the struggle for religious freedom in America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
