About this title

Synopsis

A lucid English translation of an important Latin treatise, with a prefixed history of Unitarianism in Poland.

This edition gathers the Racovian Catechism alongside its notes and illustrations to illuminate early modern religious debate.

This volume examines the structure and discipline of the church, the roles of elders and deacons, and the responsibilities of hearers. It also surveys Christology and the relationship between Jesus and the divine, framed by Unitarian critique and historical context. The embedded notes help readers follow the arguments and the historical background that shaped this influential work.

• Clear explanations of church offices, governance, and discipline
• Guarded treatment of key topics in Christology from a Unitarian perspective
• Timely notes and illustrations that situate the catechism in Polish religious history
• Context for how early Unitarian thinkers argued with and about traditional doctrine

Ideal for readers of religious history, early modern theology, and Unitarian studies seeking primary-source insight with scholarly guidance.
