Summary/Abstract: The volume entitled Antitrinitarianism and Unitarianism in the Early Modern World, published in 2024 and edited by Kazimierz Bem and Bruce Gordon, takes an interdisciplinary approach to examining the impact of antitrinitarianism, interpreted as a radical branch of the Reformation, of churches, culture, and public life in Eastern Europe, England, and the United States. One of the book’s great strengths is that it draws on hard-to-access Eastern European archival resources in Polish, Hungarian, and Latin that have rarely been published in English. The volume not only discusses the local impact of certain religious directions, but also takes into account international influences, showing how they were linked to early modern European and North American theological trends and social and political processes. The 15 studies stand on their own, but when read together, they provide a much more comprehensive picture of the history of Unitarian thought, church, and liturgy. All of this is woven together in such a way that, in addition to scholarship, there is place for individual voices and impartiality.
