| Summary | "Servetus and Calvin" by Robert Willis is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the life of Michael Servetus, a significant figure during the Reformation, who is known for his radical ideas on Christianity and his contentious relationship with the theologian John Calvin. It delves into Servetus's exploration of theological concepts, particularly his rejection of the orthodox view of the Trinity, and the consequences he faced for his beliefs. The opening of the narrative introduces Michael Servetus, providing insights into his early life, education, and formative experiences that shaped his unorthodox views. It details his initial studies, his later service with Juan Quintana—the confessor to Emperor Charles V—and his encounters with various reformers, including insights into his interactions and theological disputes that arose from his writings. As the groundwork is laid, the reader is prepared for the exploration of the profound theological debates and the eventual trial that would lead to Servetus's tragic fate at the hands of Calvin and the Geneva authorities, marking a critical moment in the history of religious thought and freedom.
