By W.K. Tweedie and William King Tweedie

Book Overview

Calvin And Servetus: The Reformers Share In The Trial Of Michael Servetus Historically Ascertained is a book written by Albert Rilliet in 1846. The book provides a detailed historical account of the trial of Michael Servetus, a Spanish theologian who was accused of heresy and burned at the stake in Geneva in 1553. Rilliet explores the role that John Calvin, a prominent figure in the Reformation movement, played in the trial and execution of Servetus. He argues that Calvin played a significant role in the trial and that his actions were not in line with the principles of justice and tolerance that he espoused in his writings. The book also examines the broader historical context of the trial, including the political and religious tensions of the time, and provides a critical analysis of the legacy of the trial for the Reformation movement. Overall, Calvin And Servetus is a detailed and insightful examination of a pivotal moment in the history of the Reformation movement and the role that key figures such as John Calvin played in shaping it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
