Publisher's Synopsis
The Great Case of Liberty of Conscience Once More Briefly Debated and Defended is a book written by William Penn. In this book, Penn argues for the importance of religious tolerance and the freedom of conscience. He discusses the history of religious persecution and the need for individuals to be able to freely practice their own beliefs without fear of punishment or discrimination. Penn also critiques the idea that the state should have the power to enforce religious conformity and argues that this goes against the principles of liberty and justice.
