Re: On The Errors of the Trinity by Michael Servet

I am certain that his works still exist, the problem is they are rare since so many were burned, and few have had the motivation to reproduce something as unpopular as "On the errors of the trinity". I do also know that his major work "Christianity Restitutio (sp?)" was finally translated into english in 2007, it is on amazon.com for $129.00, but none are available. From what I have studies, he is a very interesting person from a oneness perspective. I don't know his thoughts on the baptism exactly, but I am almost certain he believed that the apostles baptized in Jesus name. The tidbits I have read that were translated into english, this guy was preaching many things that were forgotten in history, but we see those things in the late 1800's, early 1900's in the modern pentecostal revival. Perhaps if his views would have gotten more of a chance the reformation wouldn't have been trinitarian at all, perhaps the pentecostal revival would have happened in the 16th century, 400 years earlier. But its not like these things caught God by suprise, and He does al things well. Anyhow, minus my babbling on, I would like to get my hands on some of his writings for research purposes if nothing else. Also, He was burned alive for two reasons 1)teaching against infant baptism and 2)no believing in the trinity. That is all, probably 95% of us on this board would have died prematurely at the hands of "christians" had we lived in the middle ages.
