In this brief obituary, we celebrate the life and achievements of Professor Roger Williams, who set up the UK's first liver transplant programme and championed excellence in hepatology for six decades.

The prominence of dissent and the reconciliation of dissent in John Winthrop's History of New England serves as a useful reminder that Massachusetts was not as monolithic as is often thought and that colony's ability to cope with differences of religious opinion was important to the way it represented itself. Instance of reconciliation in the History also have a face-saving effect in that they cast the colonial government as a reasonable and patient judge of permissible versus intolerable dissent while, at the same time, casting irreconcilable difference as unreasonable and self-interested, and therefore punishable. This essay studies how reconciliation events in the History work rhetorically to validate the colonial government's power both by displaying its capacity for tolerance and by defining the reasonable limits of what is tolerable.

[...]real he certainly is, and so is his legacy. Since 1959, when Williams moved from the UK's Royal Postgraduate Medical School to become one of the late Professor Dame Sheila Sherlock's first appointments at the Royal Free Hospital in north London, he has been at the absolute forefront of hepatology.

Roger Williams (1604-1683) es considerado uno de los principales autores que fundamentó el camino para ideas constitutivas de la vida política moderna como la libertad de conciencia, la tolerancia y la neutralidad del Estado en materia religiosa. Varias de ellas quedaron plasmadas en su famosa obra El sangriento dogma de la persecución por causa de conciencia (1644). Sin embargo, lo distintivo de Williams no reside únicamente en el hecho de su modernidad, sino en que sostuvo estas ideas recurriendo a la amplitud de la tradición bíblica como de pensamiento cristiano. Por lo anterior, la propuesta de este ensayo consiste en rescatar la dimensión cristiana de Williams y mostrar su continuidad con el pensamiento político de San Agustín en lo que refiere al orden y paz de la ciudad, mediante un análisis comparado de sus ideas. Para ello, se definirán los contornos de la tolerancia religiosa propuesta por Williams en relación con el problema de la libertad de conciencia en El sangriento dogma, a fin de compararlo con algunos rasgos generales del pensamiento agustiniano contenido en La ciudad de Dios. Por último, se mostrará cómo esta noción de tolerancia puede contrastarse con proposiciones de origen liberal, en específico tomando como ejemplo la Carta sobre la tolerancia de John Locke. Esto permitirá ilustrar la distancia que existe entre la posición cristiana y la liberal.

Since entering office, William Rogers had undertaken to advance the peace process between Israel and the Arab states, particularly Egypt. He believed an agreement would serve the American interests at a time when extremism was spreading in the Arab world, and Soviet influence had grown. However, his actions on the political front went unsupported by President Nixon. Moreover, the National Security Advisor had embraced a different policy vis à vis Israel and the Arab world. Rogers' failure to secure an interim agreement and his previous failure to persuade Israel and Egypt to accept his plan, led the entire region back to stagnation, from which it emerged only after the October 1973 Yom Kippur War.

New World, Known World examines the works of four writers closely associated with the early period of English colonization, from 1624 to 1649: John Smith's Generall Historie of Virginia, William Bradford's Of Plymouth Plantation, Thomas Morton's New English Canaan, and Roger Williams's A Key into the Language of America (in conjunction with another of Williams's major works, The Bloudy Tenent of Persecution). David Read addresses these texts as examples of what he refers to as \"individual knowledge projects\"- the writers' attempts to shape raw information and experience into patterns and narratives that can be compared with and assessed against others from a given society's fund of accepted knowledge.
