Anti-Trinitarians

    0.02 sec.
Anti-Trinitarians 

adherents of the religious doctrines and sects that do not accept the basic dogma of Christianity—the dogma of the Trinity.

Before the Council of Nicaea of 325, when the fundamental dogmas of the Christian church were being formed, a great majority of Christians were anti-Trinitarians—for example, gnostics, monarchians, and Arians. In the Middle Ages anti-Trinitarian views were in many cases original expressions of free thought. Anabaptists, Socinians, and other radical sects appeared during the Reformation. The 16th-century Russian thinker and freethinker Feodosii Kosoi subscribed to anti-Trinitarian ideas. A major anti-Trinitarian ideologist was the Spanish scholar M. Serveto. Anti-Trinitarians had considerable influence in England and the United States in the 18th and 19th centuries. Uni-tarianism is a widespread form of anti-Trinitarianism.

Miriam Bodian describes Rabbi Saul Levi Mortera's Tratado, which evaluated Catholics, Calvinists, and Anti-Trinitarians.
Among his topics are conscientious objection among the Polish anti-trinitarians, Seventh-Day Adventists during the US Civil War, the prison samizdat of British conscientious objectors in two world wars, and Vladimir Chertkov and the Tolstoyan anti-militarist movement in the Soviet Union.
Indeed, the focus of the collection is largely on heresy, whether that of Locke, Newton, and anti-Trinitarians (here the inclusion of essays by three members of the Newton Project may have been a factor), the Cambridge Platonist and theological Origenist Henry More, or populist radicals like the millenarian Thomas Beverly.
