Gutenberg Bible

During the 16th century in Europe, the Gutenberg printing press was the main enabler for the spread of ideas to reform the Roman Catholic church. But there was no freedom of the press and the Vatican prevented the publication of what it deemed to be heresy.

Michael Servetus

A Spanish scholar named Michael Servetus, published a book critical of the doctrine of the trinity, which, in fact, has no foundation in scripture. John Calvin of Geneva, a less liberal reformer, had almost all copies of this book burned and had Servetus tried for heresy. Servetus was found guilty and burned at the stake. Three copies of his book survived and lead to the founding of the Unitarian Church.
