About this Item

First edition. Père Anastase (d. 1737, Paris) had planned and even written most of a second part of this work, but it was never published. Socinianism dates from the wing of the Protestant Reformation known as the Radical Reformation and has its roots in the Italian Anabaptist movement of the 1540s, such as the anti-trinitarian Council of Venice in 1550. The movement is best known for its non-trinitarian beliefs about the unitary nature of God and the human nature of Jesus. It also contains some other distinctive theological doctrines, such as the denial of divine foreknowledge regarding the actions of free agents and rejection of the pre-existence of Christ.
