Roland H. Bainton, UUHS, Blackstone Editions, $20.00
Classic biography of Servetus, the famous Reformation-era
theologian and physician executed for heresy in John Calvin's
Geneva.
This new and updated edition includes an introduction by
leading Servetus scholar Ángel Alcalá, a short biography of
Bainton and an English translation of the Latin "Historia
Mortis Serveti," an account of the death of Servetus
from 1554.
Also available is this little book about Socinus and the
Minor Reformed Church in Poland:
 Racovia:
An
Early Liberal Religious Community
Phillip Hewett, Blackstone Editions, $12.00
Founded as a utopian community in 1569, by the next century
the little Polish town of Raków (Racovia) became "the
Unitarian capital of Europe." Its academy attracted scholars
and students from all over the continent. Leading thinkers
of the time also published hundreds of books in Racovia, among
them the Racovian Catechism of 1605, which is still in print
today.
Though the Racovian experiment eventually fell victim to
the forces of religious repression, the influences from this
little community come to life in this comprehensive book.
