Servetus and Calvin: A Study of an Important Epoch in the Early History of the Reformation

Michael Servetus is one of the most infamous figures of the Reformation. His doctrines of the Trinity and original sin have been labeled as foundations for modern Unitarianism. In this volume, Robert Willis investigates the untold life and achievements of Michael Servetus, including his success as a physician, astronomer, and geographer. Servetus was responsible for many of the innovations in science and philosophy during the rise of sixteenth century humanism, many of which are overshadowed by his controversial theology. This volume uncovers the story of the life, writings, and trial of Servetus.
