	Socinianism
		It was shortly after the appearance of this catechism that Faustus arrived on the scene and, in spite of initial opposition, he succeeded in attaching all parties to himself and thus securing for them a degree of unity which they had not hitherto enjoyed.
		The old catechism was not suppressed and a new one published under the title of the "Catechism of Racow".
		Thus both in the Racovian Catechism and in Socinus's "Institutiones Religionis Christianae", only the unity, eternity, omnipotence, justice, and wisdom of God are insisted on, since we could be convinced of these; His immensity, infinity, and omnipresence are regarded as beyond human comprehension, and therefore unnecessary for salvation.

		THE INFLUENCE OF THE RACOVIAN CATECHISM The Racovian Catechism is the Confession of Faith of the Polish Brethren.
		The Racovian Catechism and the writings of Faustus Socinus penetrated the religious world of England to such an extent that "Socinianism" began to be used as an epithet to label those "heretics" who agreed with them.
		Whether directly through the Racovian Catechism itself, or indirectly through other related influences, many, on both sides of the Atlantic, did come to hear about the One True God, re-evaluate their faith and as a result, reject the Doctrine of the Trinity.

	Faustus Socinus, Racovian Catechism
		By far the most influential Socinian work was the Racovian Catechism, so-called because it was published at Racow, the Socinian capital.
		Most catechisms are designed for the instruction of children or converts, but this catechism was, in the words of the historian Adolf Harnack, "a course of instruction for producing theologians." Essentially, it was a systematic statement of Socinian doctrine for propaganda purposes.
		Long after Socinus' death in 1604, after the Racow press was destroyed in 1638, and after the Socinians were forced by Jesuit oppression to flee Poland in i660, the Racovian Catechism carried the gospel of Christian freedom to the world.

		The catechism argued that the Father of Jesus is the one and only true God, the Son is a fully human being, and the holy spirit is the power of God and not a separate person.
		The Socinians, as they were known, developed this catechism to quickly ground their followers in the essential truths of their unitarian faith in a climate of hostility and persecution.
		The reader of this catechism will not be surprised, then, that a religious war rose up around the document, leading to the murder of many Socinians, and the burning of their publishing houses and universities.

	The new edition of Bainton's classical study on Servetus - SIS
		Founded as a utopian community in 1569, by the next century the little Polish town of Raków (Racovia) became "the Unitarian capital of Europe." Its academy attracted scholars and students from all over the continent.
		Leading thinkers of the time also published hundreds of books in Racovia, among them the Racovian Catechism of 1605, which is still in print today.
		Though the Racovian experiment eventually fell victim to the forces of religious repression, the influences from this little community come to life in this comprehensive book.

		The year 2005 marks the 400th anniversary of the Racovian Catechism, perhaps the most influential Unitarian document in history.
		The most prominent of these was Faustus Socinus, after whom the whole Unitarian movement was for more than two centuries popularly called "Socinian." The Racovian Catechism embodied Socinus' thinking, though he died a year before its publication.
		Noting that the problems with which the Racovians struggled - war and peace, individualism and community, the distribution of resources, the impact of cultural change, and the limits of tolerance - remain very much with us today, he begins and ends the book with reflections on the present significance of the Racovian story.

		The remaining objections, which are interspersed here and there in that book of his “Concerning God,” against the vindicatory justice of God, either fall in with those which have been mentioned from the Racovian Catechism, or shall be reduced to the order of those which follow.

	Milton and the Liberal Heresy of Tradition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The Racovian Catechism, as it was known in its English translation, introduced the radically liberal theology of the Socinians, that sectarian movement considered most dangerous to Calvinist orthodoxy establishing itself in Interregnum England.
		Given the serious professional consequences of Milton’s official tolerance of the antitrinitarian catechism, as well as the enormity of the theological questions at stake, we should not be surprised that his relation to the theological controversies surrounding the Socinian heresy, both before and after the Racovian Catechism affair, would remain tense and conflicted.
		Why Milton would feel such sympathy for this outcast theology, and why Socinianism (or the other progressive early modern theologies, such as Arminianism, with which it was often lumped) would prove so nettling to the Calvinist extremists then at their height, has never been adequately examined.

		Nevertheless, the Racovians asked him to defend in writing their views on society and the state, which were then under attack.
		Over the years the extreme ideas of the Racovians lost out, and the prevailing opinion in the church came to grant the right and duty of the Christian to accept and participate in the activities of the state and society.
		He had a great deal of influence over the rising generation who objected to the strictness of their elders, and in hoping to answer their questions and resolve their doubts he was led to modify and soften his own views.

	12. LIGHTSTAND IN POLAND --The Protesters
		Despite the fact that the full trinitarian deity of Jesus of Nazareth is rejected, yet there is throughout a reverent attitude to the divine Sonship of Christ and a careful insistence that Jesus is more than other men, that he revealed the Father, that in him dwelt the character and powers of God.
		The Christ of the Rakow catechism is not the simple ethical teacher of later Unitarianism.
		The later sections of the catechism deal with a wide range of Christian doctrine: baptism, the Supper, faith, freewill, justification, eternal life, the work of the Holy Spirit (two forms, the one continuing for a time only, visible; the other perpetual, invisible), the death of Jesus, resurrection, the future age.

		It "is not a catechism in the sense of being a book for religious instruction of the young, so much as a manual of doctrines in question and answer form, tended largely for purposes of propaganda and defense."
		The theology of the catechism denies that Christ died on the cross actually to purchase salvation or pay the debt of sin.
		Third, he delivers us from the servitude of sins by binding us to obedience, by acting as our example as one who submits to the will of God, and by working as the supreme overseer in the worship and service of God on earth.
