	Michael Servetus Biography
		Michael Servetus is in more than one respect one of the most remarkable men of the sixteenth century; while the tragic death which he suffered made him the first and most conspicuous martyr to the faith whose history we are following.
		In Italy Servetus was horrified by riches of the church, the adoration accorded the Pope, and the worldliness of the priesthood.
		Servetus, by examining the wall of the heart and noting the size of the pulmonary artery, concluded that transformation of the blood, accomplished by the release of waste gases and the infusion of air, occurred in the lungs.

		It was in 1536, when John Calvin was on a hurried and final visit to France, that in Paris he first met Servetus, and as he himself says, proposed to set him right on theological points.
		Servetus succeeded Andreas Vesalius as assistant to Günther, who extols his general culture, and notes his skill in dissection, and ranks him vix ulli secundus in knowledge of Galen.
		The only likeness of Servetus is a small copperplate by C. Sichem, 1607 (often reproduced); the original is not known and the authenticity is uncertain.

		Servetus was a Spaniard, Miguel Serveto Conesta, born into a noble family in the town of Villanueva de Sijena, Huesca, in Aragon in 1511 and he was a language prodigy.

		In the realm of theology Servetus combined a rational mind with a deep mysticism devoted to the person of Jesus Christ and a return to the original messianism of pre-Nicaean Christianity.
		Servetus' humanism in the realm of medical studies was expressed in the acceptance of Galenism, but his version of Galenism was subordinate to the method of observation and not to the dogmatic following of immutable knowledge received from antiquity.
		The biographer of John Calvin, E. Stähelin, wrote: "[Servetus] was in intellectual endowments undoubtedly the peer of the greatest men of his century, Calvin included." Friedrich Trechsel, nineteenth century church historian, wrote: "Servetus personified the antitrinitarian spirit, and worked it out into a comprehensive system, giving it its first speculative and systematic form.

		Servetus published his new ideas on the Trinity in De Trinitatis erroribus libri vii (1531), attacking the orthodox teaching and attempting to form a view of his own, asserting that the Word is eternal, a mode of God's self-expression, whereas the Spirit is God's motion or power within the hearts of men.
		Servetus forwarded the manuscript of an enlarged revision of his ideas, the Christianismi Restitutio, to Calvin in 1546 and expressed a desire to meet him.
		The darkest blot on Protestantism is the burning of Servetus for heresy and blasphemy, at Geneva, with the approval of Calvin and all the surviving Reformers, including Melanchthon (1553).

	Michael Servetus, the Man
		THIS UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST FELLOWSHIP bears the name of Michael Servetus because its founders had sufficient historical appreciation to note that the year we came into being (1953) was the 400th anniversary of a momentous date in Unitarian history, and in Protestant history as well—the execution in Geneva of Michael Servetus for heresy.
		At the onset of the Protestant Reformation in 1517, Miguel Servet (as Servetus was actually known in his homeland, Spain) was a young lad six years of age, at a time when Spain was aflame with passion for exploring, colonizing and plundering the newly discovered lands across the western sea.
		Young Servetus was sorely vexed by the refusal of these upright and intelligent persons to accept the saving truth taught by the Church, enduring exile, imprisonment, and even death rather than accept the fundamentals of the Christian faith.

	Michael Servetus
		Michael Servetus (1509 or 1511-October 27, 1553), a Spaniard martyred in the Reformation for his criticism of the doctrine of the trinity and his opposition to infant baptism, has often been considered an early unitarian.
		Servetus rejected the doctrine of original sin and the entire theory of salvation based upon it, including the doctrines of Christ's dual nature and the vicarious atonement effected by his death.
		It is one of the ironies of history that all the modern Unitarian churches and movements hold the memory of Michael Servetus in special honour—for every one of them developed historically from the Reformed tradition of John Calvin.

	Michael Servetus
		It developed that among his other talents, Servetus was a gifted linguist and excelled in the study of Latin, Greek and Hebrew, enabling him (at age 15) to read the entire Bible in its original languages while in the service of a Franciscan friar.
		But by 1530 Servetus bought into the theology of the 4th century theologian Arius, which denies the Trinity because it is found nowhere in the Bible.
		After 1536, Servetus practiced medicine for about fifteen years near Lyon and also published two works on Ptolemy's Geography, in which Palestine and Judea were spoken of, not as "a land flowing with milk and honey," as the Bible says, but, correctly, as barren and inhospitable.

	Michael Servetus - His Vision Did Not Go Up In Flames : UU Church of Nashua
		Staying with the movie motif, Servetus is the protagonist and Calvin the antagonist, and to make this movie thing work you'd have to show all the stuff going on in Calvin's life, interspersed with that of Servetus, to demonstrate how they eventually and fatefully came together in Geneva.
		So part of Servetus' legacy was a backlash that led to a more general mood of toleration in matters of religion in Europe, which eventually and slowly evolved into the religious freedom we know today.
		What Servetus did was find his religious truth in the interaction between the content of faith, which in his case the Bible represented, and the workings of the human mind.

	The Murder of Michael Servetus (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		To Servetus, Jesus Christ was the only "hypostatis" of the Godhead in that he was the only outward manifestation - using more of the medical sense - as light is to the sun.
		There is little doubt that Servetus was a Christian, but one who was purposely misinterpreted by his accusers so as to railroad him through a mock trial in order to murder him.
		Servetus was refused an advocate at the trial, being told with grim humor that he could lie well enough without one and was not allowed to answer a number of charges against him.

		Servetus then published a book that separated him philosophically not only from Catholicism but also from all the current reforming movements: De Trinitatis erroribus (1531; On the Errors of the Trinity).
		If Servetus denied Jesus' equality to the godhead, he yielded to none in his praise of Jesus, calling him the Light of the World.
		Servetus insisted that those who believed in the Trinity were tritheists who could not escape the logic that they denied the One True God.

	Michael Servetus' Ashes Cry Out Against John Calvin
		Although Calvin consented to Servetus' request to be beheaded, he acquiesced to the mode of execution employed.
		In the course of his flight from Vienne, Servetus stopped in Geneva and made the mistake of attending a sermon by Calvin.
		When the executioner began his work, Servetus whispered with trembling voice: 'Oh God, Oh God!' The thwarted Farel snapped at him: 'Have you nothing else to say?' This time Servetus replied to him: 'What else might I do, but speak of God!' Thereupon he was lifted onto the pyre and chained to the stake.
