Az univerzalista Huszti András
The Universalist András Huszti

Summary/Abstract: From all Transylvanian theologians accused of spreading Arminianist, Pelagianist or universalist theology in the Transylvanian church history the most prominent was András Huszti, a famous former law professor in Cluj. Research have dealt with many aspects of his life, but there are unsolved questions left regarding his heterodoxy. The personality of the former lawyer is more interesting than his contemporary colleagues’, namely József Makfalvi’s and Sámuel Nádudvari’s. His field of interest was vast, from linguistics to law, from theological to archival history. Research has confirmed that András Huszti was a universalist theologian, whose ideas were criticized by the synod of Deva. From international perspective, however, he belonged to the enlightened and rationalistic current of orthodoxy; therefore, he considered it natural to deal with the doctrine of predestination from a new perspective, the doctrine that was the basis of the reformed orthodoxy.
