#21 - Johann Crell: Architect of Continental Socinian Theology

A portrait of Johann Crell (Crellius), the Latin- writing theologian who turned the Polish Brethren’s dissident ideas into a systematic, continental school. This episode traces the University at Raków, the legacy of the Sozzini family, and the political and intellectual currents that made Crell’s work possible — and necessary. Listeners will encounter the printing press, the Academy classrooms, and the controversies that forced Socinianism from local dissent into a carefully argued theology that would travel across Europe.
