  • Michael Servetus: The Man and the Controversy (Show Down Series) Part 1

    Michael Servetus: The Man and the Controversy (Show Down Series) Part 1
    Sep 9 2024

    The controversy surrounding the burning of Michael Servetus on the 27th October 1553 in Geneva has followed John Calvin's name ever since. But who was Michael Servetus, and why was he regarded as a heretic across Europe? In this episode Matt looks at Servetus' life and personality and explores what led him to come to Geneva on that fateful day in 1553. The "Show Down" series seeks to understand the historical and theological context for the various people Calvin debated and clashed with. The next few episodes will dig into Servetus' life, personality, motivations, his trial and execution with a specific focus on John Calvin's role in these tragic events.
