Summary

William Penn played a crucial role in the articulation of religious liberty as a philosophical and political value during the second half of the seventeenth century. Penn oversaw a great colonizing endeavor that attempted to instantiate his tolerationist commitments in practice. His thought has relevance for scholars of English political and religious history.
