John Rogers and his brother, James, were wealthy New London\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emerchants who traded in more than just goods. They benefited from the exchange\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof cultures, languages, and even religions. Indeed, those influences led John\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRogers to abandon Congregationalism and create America's first indigenous sect\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebased solely on the Bible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a dissenting group, John Rogers and his Rogerene followers leveraged the Bible\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand oftentimes outlandish acts of protest to challenge the legitimacy of Connecticut's\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eestablished church and its theocratic stranglehold on the everyday lives of citizens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn doing so, the Rogerene sect was an outcome of what one historian has called the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003erough-and-tumble life of a colonial port town, New London. Their rich and varied\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003estory stands in stark contrast to Connecticut's traditional reputation as the Land of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteady Habits. The only thing steady about the Rogerenes was their unwavering faith\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein the Word and their willingness to suffer persecution for their nonconformist faith.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond their colorful history, the Rogerenes have much to teach us through their \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003einfluences on such varied subjects as the separation of church and state, polygamy, faith\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehealing, the importance of individualism, and the rights of the marginalized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 182\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 22, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45672335736934,"sku":"9780997790740","price":23.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/dkRZaXFpQ1lHUFEwMXFUNDUxdHRoUT09.webp?v=1780066219","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/sola-scriptura-and-sectarianism-the-rise-of-the-rogerenes-in-colonial-new-london-1664-1721-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
