 After
the celebration of our 30th Anniversary in Villanueva de Sijena(October
2006), some members of the Michael Servetus Institute devoted
all their efforts to edit a new book on Michael Servetus,
which we believe will contribute to a better understanding
of Servetus' thought.
The Michael Servetus Institute is delighted to inform you
of the recent publication of the essay by Jaume de Marcos:
“The influence of Erasmus in Michael Servetus' Works”.
In this essay, which has been edited in English and Spanish,
Jaume de Marcos analyzes in detail the main elements of Erasmus’
works that can be spotted in Michael Servetus’ works.
He also identifies the main similarities and differences amongst
both humanists, and the influence that both had in the Post-Servetian
Antitrinitarian churches.
This essay is based upon Jaume’s research while he
was studying a Master in History of Religions in the Autonomous
University of Barcelona (UAB) (Spain). Histutor in this research
was Dr. Lluís Duch, a monk inthe Monastery of Monserrat,
who is acknowledged to beone of the Spanish leading scholars
in Reformation studies. Given the interesting nature of this
research, the Institute is specially thankful to Jaume de
Marcos for his devotion in completing this publication, as
well as to Dr. Ana Gómez Rabal for her help in editing
the essay.
Jaume de Marcos Andreu was born June 25, 1961, in Barcelona,
Spain. He has a B.A. in Anglo-Germanic Philology (1987) and
a Master in History of Religions (2005), both from the Autonomous
University of Barcelona (UAB). In 1989 he discovered Unitarian
Universalism and quickly became quite active in the European
Unitarian Universalists network (EUU). In 1996 and 1998 he
participated in Unitarian Universalist Leadership Seminars
in Germany. In 2000 he started the Unitarian Universalist
Religious Society of Spain. He became a counsellor of the
Michael Servetus Institute in 2004 and nowadays he is also
on the board of directors of the UNESCO Association for Interfaith
Dialog and the International Council of Unitarians and Universalists.
