Discover the life of a daring 16th‑century thinker and the price he paid for his beliefs.
In this tightly told biography, you’ll follow the restless search for truth that drove Michael Servetus to debate theology, publish radical ideas, and provoke one of the era’s fiercest clashes between reformers and authorities. The book traces his conflicts with Calvin, his bold rejection of prevailing doctrines, and the daring path that led from medical practice to a dangerous book and a controversial trial.
With clear, chronological storytelling, the narrative shows how Servetus defended his views under pressure, and how wider religious tensions shaped his fate. It also places his scientific claim, including the early mention of the circulation of the blood, within his broader quest to restore a purer form of Christianity.
Ideal for readers of historical biographies and those curious about the clash of ideas in the Reformation era.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and thought of Michael Servetus, a Spanish physician and theologian whose groundbreaking ideas challenged the accepted religious beliefs of his time. Set against the backdrop of the Protestant Reformation, the author traces Servetus' journey from his early education to his daring correspondence with Calvin, which ultimately led to his tragic execution. The book explores Servetus' significant contributions to science, particularly his early recognition of the pulmonary circulation of blood. It also sheds light on his profound understanding of the Bible, which led him to reject the doctrine of the Trinity and advocate for a more humanistic interpretation of Christianity. Through meticulous research and engaging storytelling, the author presents Servetus as a courageous intellectual who dared to question established dogmas and paved the way for future religious and scientific advancements.
