The book Bloody Tenent Washed and Made White In the Blood of the Lamb is written by John Cotton. It is a religious book that discusses the concept of religious tolerance and the role of the church in society. The title of the book is derived from a biblical verse that speaks of the cleansing power of the blood of Jesus Christ. The book argues that true religious freedom can only be achieved through a separation of church and state. Cotton discusses the history of religious persecution, particularly in England and the New World, and argues that it is the responsibility of Christians to promote tolerance and understanding. The book is written in a scholarly style and includes references to biblical and historical sources. It is considered an important work in the history of religious thought and has influenced many subsequent discussions on the topic of religious freedom.1647. Being discussed and discharged of blood-guiltiness by just defense, wherein the great questions of this present time are handled, to-wit: how far liberty of conscience ought to be given to those that truly fear God? And how far restrained to turbulent and pestilent persons that not only raze the foundation of Godliness, but disturb the civil peace where they live? Also how far the Magistrates may proceed in the duties of the first Table? And that all Magistrates ought to study the word and will of God, that they may frame their government according to it. Discussed, as they are alleged from many Scriptures, out of the Old and New Testaments, wherein also the practice of princes is debated, together with the judgment of ancient and late writers of most precious esteem.
