On Roger Williams and Jean-Paul Sartre

Here's a quote from a long footnote that I wrote explaining the statement quoted in the previous blog about Williams and Levinas:
"Unlike Sartre, who felt constricted and condemned by the gaze of others, Williams willingly subjected himself to the judging eyes of all others -- even the eyes of complete strangers to his race, culture, religion and community."
I'll be presenting my paper and powerpoint on "The Relevance of Roger Williams" tomorrow morning.

When do the rest of us get to see your paper?

Rob,

My paper is going to the Baptist History and Heritage Society for review for publication. So, I won't be posting the whole paper.

I will post a copy of my powerpoint presentation on the Mainstream Baptists website and will post a link to it.

I'll try to get the powerpoint presentation up tomorrow.
